## About this guide
In this guide we focus on how to use the [ARCitect](./../ARCitect-Manual/index.html) to create your ARC and structure, store and share your data.

## Before we can start
Please make sure
:ballot_box_with_check: The latest version of the [ARCitect](./../ARCitect-Manual/index.html) is installed on your computer
-:ballot_box_with_check: You have a [DataPLANT](https://register.nfdi4plants.org) account
+:ballot_box_with_check: You have a [DataPLANT](https://register.nfdi4plants.org) account
+:bulb: Consider reading about the [ARC](./../implementation/AnnotatedResearchContext.html)
+
+---
+
+## Preparation
+
+Before creating your own ARC, invest some time to think about the following questions.
+
+- What is my **investigation**?
+- What is my **study**?
+- Which **assay** did I perform?
+ - What is my (raw) **dataset**?
+ - What **protocol**s did I use?
+
+:bulb: It might help to have this info ready in a text file. In particular, try to think about useful names (identifiers) for investigation, study and assay.
+
+---
+
+## Initiate the ARC folder structure
+
+
+
+
+
+ 1. Start the ARCitect
+ 2. Create a **New ARC** (2)
+ 3. Select a location and name for your ARC
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+---
+
+### Your ARC's name
+
+
+
+
+ 💡 By default, your ARC's name will be used:
+
+ 1. for the ARC folder on your machine
+ 2. to create your ARC in the DataHUB at `https://git.nfdi4plants.org//` (see next steps)
+ 3. as the identifier for your investigation
+
+ 💡 Make sure that no ARC exists at `https://git.nfdi4plants.org//`. Otherwise you will sync to that ARC.
+
+ 💡 Avoid spaces in your ARC's name
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+---
+
+### Add details about your investigation
+
+Click on your ARC's name to add details, such as
+
+- a title
+- a description
+
+
+
+
+---
+
+### Add contributors
+
+In the section "People" click "ADD PERSON" to add at least one contributor
+
+
+
+---
+
+## Add a study to your ARC
+
+
+
+
+ Click "Add Study" in the sidebar and enter an identifier
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+---
+
+### Add details about your study
+
+Click on your study's name to add details, such as
+
+- general metadata,
+- people, and
+- publications
+- data process information
+
+
+
+---
+
+### Add a protocol to your study
+
+
+
+
+
+ Click "Add Protocol" in the sidebar to add a protocol to your study
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+---
-## Two minutes to your ARC
+### Adding protocols
-1. Start the ARCitect
-2. Create a `New ARC`
-3. Select a location and give your ARC a name
+You can either
+- directly write a **new protocol** within the ARCitect or
+- **import** an existing one from your computer
+
+
+
+
+---
+
+## Add an assay to your ARC
+
+
+
+
+ Click "Add Assay" in the sidebar and enter an identifier
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+---
+
+### Link your assay to a study
+
+
+
+
+ You can either
+ - link your new assay to an existing study in your ARC or
+ - create a new one (with the same name as the assay)
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+---
+
+### Add information about your assay
+
+In the assay panel you can
+
+1. link or unlink the assay to studies, and
+2. define the assay's
+ - measurement type
+ - technology type, and
+ - technology platform.
+3. add data process information
+
+
+
+---
+
+### Add protocols and datasets to your assay
+
+
+
+
+ In the file tree you can
+
+ - **add a dataset**, and
+ - **protocols** associated to that dataset.
+
+ :bulb: **Add Dataset** allows to import data from any location on your computer into the ARC.
+ :warning: Depending on the file size, this may take a while. Test this with a small batch of files first.
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+---
+
+## Share your ARC
+
+
+
+
+ Click **Login** (1) in the sidebar to login to the DataHUB.
+
+ :bulb: This automatically opens your browser at the DataHUB (https://git.nfdi4plants.org) and asks you to login, if you are not already logged in.
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+---
+
+### Versions: Connection to the DataHUB
+
+
+
+
+ To communicate with the DataHUB, navigate to Versions (6)
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+---
+
+### Connection to the DataHUB
+
+If you are logged in, the versions panel shows
+
+- your DataHUB's *Full Name* and *eMail*
+- the URL of the current ARC in the DataHUB
+ `https://git.nfdi4plants.org//`
+
+![bg right w:650](./../img/arcitect-VersionsPanel.png)
+
+---
+
+### Upload your ARC to the DataHUB
+
+The versions panel allows you to
+
+- store the local changes to your ARC in form of "commits",
+- sync the changes to the DataHUB, and
+- check the history of your ARC
+
+To upload your ARC:
+
+ 1. Enter a "commit message" to shortly describe the changes to your ARC
+ 2. Click "commit" to save your changes locally
+ 3. Click upload to upload your ARC to the DataHUB
+
+
+
+
+### Check if your ARC is successfully uploaded
+
+1. [sign in](https://git.nfdi4plants.org) to the DataHUB
+2. Check your projects
