Starting with GroIMP 2.1.7 it is possible to create interactive tutorials to present panels and workflows. The interaction is based on GroIMP Layouts and the embedded HTML view.

GroIMP Layouts describe the composition of the different panels in a project and can be saved using “Panels/add Layout”, chosen under “Panels/set Layout” and delete using the layout explorer “Panels/Layout”.

The tutorial navigation panel allows the users to “walk through” the different project layouts, starting with the first created one.

Since a layout can not be renamed or edited it is not (easily) possible to later change the order of the different layouts in the walk through. Therefore it is important to properly plan your interactive tutorial.

For each step/layout you need to know the panels you want in and the description of the step as an HTML file. You can simply create an HTML file using any editor (e.g. https://html5-editor.net) (or Word with a bigger font size).

1. Preferences:
   1. Create a new RGG project and open the preferences
   2. Create a workbench option file (file/create…)
   3. enable “hide the history navigation button in HTML view” under user interface General Options.
   4. close preferences

1. HTML files:
   1. Create HTML folder in your file explorer

Our first step should only show the 2d Graph of the new RGG Project and a HTML panel with the text:

01_2DView.html

<h2> Welcome to the test tutorial</h2>
 
This is a test tutorial that shows in the first step the 2D graph.

To create this we need to do the follwing steps:

1. Add the file 01_2DView.html to the HTML folder.
2. Open this file
3. Close all panels but the file
4. Open the 2d Graph and the Tutorial navigation panel
