Up: Workspace Tour - Table of Contents

Hi! This quick tour will help you get acquainted with your Socialtext Workspace. It's easy to do. After you've read each page, just click on the blue underlined link at the bottom to go to the next page -- sort of like turning the page in a book.

Again, you're looking at a page in a Socialtext Workspace. It provides a way to organize information and collaborate on the web.
