Lab manuals are added to a lab manual project. You can import a manual from the ScreenSteps authoring tool, or upload instructional content from your local machine.

In addition to ScreenSteps, VMware Lab Platform supports Word DOCX and PDF files. ScreenSteps and Word files are changed to the VMware Lab Platform lab manual format. PDF files are displayed in a PDF viewer.

For more information on importing different types of source files for lab manuals, see the VMware Lab Platform Content Engine Guide.
