How to use agents

Choose Edit › Agents, tick the agents you want (Labeler, Numberer, Tidier, Reviewer) and press Start. Their changes arrive as suggestions; nothing is final until you accept it.

Steps

  1. Draw or insert the structures, for example aspirin and ethanol.

  2. Choose Main menu › Edit › Agents.

  3. Tick the agents you want. Two are ticked to start.

Agent What it does
Labeler Names every structure that has no caption
Numberer Numbers the compounds in reading order
Tidier Lines up each row of structures on one middle
Reviewer Looks for drawing problems and lists them; changes nothing

  1. Press Start (Start 2 agents with two ticked). Each agent says when it is done.

  2. Review the suggestions. The panel at the top lists each agent's changes; the eye button previews them on the page.

    Two suggestions: the Labeler named the structures and the Numberer numbered them 1 and 2.Two suggestions: the Labeler named the structures and the Numberer numbered them 1 and 2.

  3. Press Accept or Reject on each, or Accept all.

Nothing an agent does is final until you accept it, and an accepted change is one undo step.
