Choose Help › Take the tour with Athy. After a few quick questions, Athy points out each part of the window and waits while you try it. You can stop at any step.

The first steps of the tour with Athy, played in Athanor.

Steps

  1. Open a document, for example a Blank drawing.

  2. Open the Main menu (the Athanor mark at the left of the tab bar) and choose Help › Take the tour with Athy.

  3. Athy asks a few quick questions first, so the tour only shows you what you need: what fits you best (Student, Teacher, Researcher or Just exploring) and whether you have used a drawing tool like ChemDraw before. Pick an answer and press Next, then Start the tour.

  4. Press Let's go. Athy points at a part of the window and tells you what to do there, such as "Drag anywhere on the canvas to draw a bond". Do it, and Athy moves on to the next step. The dots beside Athy's name show how far along you are.
