Scalar User’s Guide

Ever gotten stuck trying to annotate a video in Scalar? Or just plain forgot how to add items to your main menu? Our comprehensive User’s Guide is always there to assist.

If it’s your first time using Scalar, using the Getting Started section is ideal to acquaint yourself with the basics. If you’re in a hurry, you can explore a special section that gathers all of Scalar’s QuickStart documentation in one place. If you’re embarking on a large project, we highly recommend you read through the sections on Working with Media, Working with Content, and Working with Structure to familiarize yourself with all of Scalar’s capabilities as well as some important considerations for using media in your book. The Advanced Topics section dives into some useful features for those who want to dive a bit deeper into the platform. Our Custom Styling section shows you how to tailor basic stylistic features of Scalar projects, like font size and background color. And finally, our section on Third Party Plugins and Platforms shows users how to insert third-party material such as interactive maps and timelines into your Scalar project using iframes.

For users who are logged in, a link to our User’s Guide is always located at the top right-hand corner of your page, next to “Dashboard” and “Index.”
