Like any sophisticated software, there are many ways to perform most tasks.

This allows the user to find the optimum workflow for their particular needs.

It also allows 'power-users' to go faster than novice users, whilst keeping it intuitive for beginners.

We've recorded short videos of the following scenarios for each workflow.
