The Sidebar
Your project opens on the canvas. You can upload and edit sources in Memo, work through the four steps in Notebook, and find, add, and arrange nodes in Tools. The active view is underlined. Hide collapses the sidebar while leaving those controls available to reopen it.
On a wide screen, the sidebar sits beside the map and can be resized. On a phone, the map remains above the scrolling panel. Selecting a node or connection opens its details in the sidebar.
Navigation and Undo
Continue advances to the next mapping step. It becomes available after the current part's memo has been successfully submitted, including when that submission found no supported nodes. You can then draw connections and write Field Notes as your assignment requires.
Back returns to a view you visited without reversing your work. Undo and Redo change saved project edits, including map and memo updates. Saved edit history is available when you reopen the project. Check the enabled controls for the changes you can undo.
Memo
The memo selector switches between Part 1 and Part 2. Each has its own upload and text field. Submit memo and add nodes starts a first reading. After you edit a previously submitted memo, Update map submits the changes. Saving a draft or switching between the two memos does not request another reading.
Notebook
The four step controls show Micro, Meso, Exo, and Macro. At Micro you review local nodes. At Meso you draw their relationships. At Exo you work with outside settings from the second memo, and at Macro you connect broader conditions to the settings and relationships they affect. Open Field notes (optional) to write about your analysis.
Tools
Add item opens a new node. Map key explains the three nested system regions, colors, and line patterns. Canvas and List show the same saved map in different ways, and Layers narrows the view to one level or shows all levels. Find a node searches node names across the map.
The minus and plus controls change zoom, and Fit map brings the visible map into view. Arrange map adjusts the layout. Auto-fit layout helps fit the map as it develops. Turn it off when you want to work with your saved positions. Full screen map expands the map, and Esc leaves full screen.
Project and Account
In Project → Project details, you can edit the title and creator name. Projects returns to your saved maps, Progress shows your saved progress, and Export & share offers downloads and project links. The Project menu also includes the level selector and display preferences.
Account shows your account and available courses, and Sign out sits beside it in the header. The information icon opens the app introduction. Use the bug icon to report a problem or request a feature.
