How it works

  • 01Short steps. Each chapter shows one technique in a few numbered steps, with the exact menu path to click.
  • 02One exercise per chapter. Tick off the steps as you go. Your browser remembers them, and the chapter gets a ✓ in the list.
  • 03Mac or Windows. Use the Mac/Win switch at the top of each chapter: shortcuts and clicks follow it. On a Mac, Alt is the Option key (⌥).
