Making a Start with LabWriteUp

The first thing to do is enter your name and a title for this LabWriteUp project (this is not the title of the report but just a title to identify the project file by). Work through the Menu Options. Begin with Author Details and then work from the Design, to the Title, Hypothesis, and so on (the Design option should be completed before the Title and Results options).

If at any stage you need help, you can select one of the help buttons. The smaller buttons will open a new window with helpful text, while the larger help buttons will open a page like this.

Save the project file frequently - this will enable you to return to LabWriteUp later and continue with the same project. There is an autosave function that will save the project file every five minutes so if you exit and forget to save or your pc crashes then you still have a recent copy (it saves with the project filename and adds "_autosave.lab".

You can preview most sections of the report at any time by clicking on one of the preview buttons:

If at any stage you encounter a problem or wish to make constructive comments about the application (things you like, things you don´t like, suggested improvements, features you wished it had, and so on), click on the button Send Feedback, which will appear when you save the project file. (You need to be connected to internet to submit feedback.)

LabWriteUp saves projects as project files. These have the suffix ".lab".

When you enter your name, the application remembers this, even if you start a new project and do not enter your name.
