Working with manuals in VMware Lab Platform

The Manuals page lists the lab manuals associated with the current account.

You create manuals with the tools of your choice and can import manuals that are in the following formats: Word docx, PDF, or ScreenSteps. Alternatively, you can use the VMware Lab Platform editing tool called the Content Editor to develop a manual or edit a manual after it is imported.

To ensure that the manual you select on the Manuals page has the same content in both the administrator dashboard and the Content Engine interface, synchronizing (Sync) is necessary. Creating and editing the content of an instructional manual is done separately from the VMware Lab Platform administrator dashboard.

Note:

PDF resource files used as lab manuals are not displayed here.

To access the Content Engine user interface, click Content > Content Engine. The Content Engine allows an administrator to manage lab manuals. The Content Editor Reference Guide describes how to use the Content Editor.
