Finding help

Begin by reviewing the Navigation bar on the left. Each section with a triangle will expand to reveal common destinations.
Follow the Get started link under Sugar, to study the page Getting Started.

There you will find The Sugar Learners' manual, recommended reading for all!

Plus you will find links to Tutorials, Videos and, importantly, current release notes.

Sugar Labs FAQ - a compilation of the team FAQs

Search this wiki.

Most of the pages on this wiki are tagged on the bottom of the page by "Category:"

Have a look at this page, it has the tag Help. If you click on the tag, it will take you to an index of all other pages tagged Help.

The Undiscoverable

We have tried hard to make it easy for children to discover what they can do with Sugar software without being told. But that isn't always possible. So we have a list of things that teachers should know about, and be able to demonstrate. If you find some feature of the software incomprehensible, please add it to the list, and we will see what we can do for you and everybody else who runs into the same problem. Sometimes the answer is a click of the mouse away, but not always. We are, after all, introducing children to all of human knowledge. They will inevitably need help with much of it. It took all of our ancestors many years to get this far, so it is alright if children spend a few years hitting the highlights, and getting help to do it.
