Each time you launch an instance of Dr.Explain, the application by default shows the startup screen that allows you to create a new project, import an existing document or to open a recent project:
Create a new local project
Select this option button to start working on a new local project.
Once you select a source format in the list you will be prompted to select a source file or folder for import. This section works similar to Import dialog.
This section contains a list of recent projects. Blue - general projects, black - individual projects, and green - project templates.
Project templates generated by Dr. Explain are partially completed sections that can be modified in a variety of ways, depending on the end product, such as software, a Web-service, or an enterprise knowledge base. Project templates are expert recommendations that are not requirements of regulatory legal acts.
To start working with any of the listed projects, just click on it. If the project is marked in black or blue, then you will continue to work with it, and if it is green, then a new project will open in front of you, which presents the template you have chosen.
If the program suddenly stops working (software crash, power off, PC shutdown, or else) during project editing, an auto-saved copy will be available in the recent projects list. You can open it to recover the project.
