 ===== How to use this manual =====
-This manual is designed to function like a product documentation portal.
+This manual is designed to function like a product documentation portal exported into Word. It keeps the earlier task-led entry points, but adds the level of operational detail that researchers, contributors, and maintainers need when they are actually working inside the platform
-You can use it in two main ways:
+**Read this manual in two ways**
-  * **Sequential reading**
+  * Read chapter 1 and chapter 2 first if you are new to HORTUS and need orientation before you begin.
-    Start from the beginning (Start Here and Navigation) if you are new to HORTUS.
+  * Jump directly to the chapter that matches your task if you already know the feature you need.
+  * Use the screenshots, CTA tables, and workflow notes together: they explain not only what a screen looks like, but also what action to take next.
+  * Use the role notes carefully. Many features change slightly depending on whether you are a visitor, a signed-in user, a contributor, a maintainer, or a moderator.
-  * **Task-oriented navigation**
-    Jump directly to the section corresponding to your task if you already know what you need.
-To get the most out of the documentation:
-  * Combine screenshots, action tables, and workflow notes
-  * Pay attention to role-based differences
-  * Use sections as operational guides, not just descriptions
