== User's Guide and FAQ ==

A (n always evolving) user's guide is [[Users_Guide|available here]]. A [[FAQ]] is also available.

== Video Tutorial ==

We are in the process of creating a video tutorial that can be used to guide users through the process of learning to use VisTrails. The videos that follow below are a preliminary version of this tutorial, and will keep evolving towards a complete tutorial.
