Context-Sensitive Help
Click ? — land on exactly the right page
Every major window in LSS4 — the mapping workspace, the video scene editor, the show timeline, the phase editor, the SD card export — has a small ? button. Clicking it opens the online manual and navigates directly to the section describing that specific window or feature. You never have to know what the section is called or search through a table of contents to find it.
This context-based approach means the manual is most useful at the exact moments when you're trying something for the first time. You get help in context, not after you've already left the screen that confused you.
- Every window has a ? icon linking to its manual section
- Manual opens directly to the relevant page — no searching
- Available from every editor: mapping, video, timeline, effects, SD card
- Consistent with the software's own organizational structure
Logical Structure
Organized the way you actually work
The manual is divided to mirror the workflow in LSS4: getting started, hardware setup, mapping, video and effects, the show timeline, and export. If you're setting up a new LEC3 controller, you go to the hardware section. If you're building an animation in the timeline, you go to the show section. It follows the natural sequence of a real project — not the internal architecture of the software.
Each section includes step-by-step instructions with annotated screenshots, so you can follow along without guessing what a button does or what the expected result looks like.
- Sections organized by workflow stage, not software module
- Step-by-step instructions with annotated screenshots
- Covers hardware setup through show export
- Getting started guide for first-time users
- Separate sections for advanced features: phase editor, SD card, MIDI MTC
