As a molecular modeler, navigating complex workflows and mastering new tools can be overwhelming. Wouldn't it be great to have step-by-step guidance, directly embedded within your software? This is where SAMSON's interactive tutorials shine. These built-in tutorials are designed to simplify your experience and help you become proficient in various tasks quickly and efficiently.
SAMSON offers a collection of interactive tutorials that guide users through essential tasks in molecular design. You don't need to consult external sources or piece together information — everything is integrated directly inside SAMSON. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced user exploring new features, these tutorials serve as a practical solution for overcoming the steep learning curve often associated with molecular modeling platforms.
How It Works
Accessing these tutorials is simple. Just go to Help > Tutorials in the SAMSON interface. Here, you'll find a selection of tutorials covering various features and tasks within the platform. Choose one, click Start tutorial, and the interactive guidance will begin. These tutorials not only describe what to do but also guide you through performing tasks directly within the software, making for an engaging hands-on experience.

Stopping and Restarting Tutorials
If you ever need to exit a tutorial, it's easy. Simply close the tutorial's tip window in the top-right corner of the Viewport. And don't worry if you missed something — you can always restart the tutorial from scratch by selecting it again in Help > Tutorials. This flexibility ensures you can learn at your own pace without the pressure of getting everything perfect on the first try.
Beyond the Basics
The interactive tutorials are not limited to just common tasks. For learning how to extend SAMSON's capabilities with additional modules, check out the SAMSON Extensions Tutorials. These resources are invaluable for users who want to customize or expand the platform's functionality.
Why It Matters
Mastering molecular modeling tools is essential for efficient workflows, but traditional documentation or video tutorials sometimes feel disconnected from the actual software experience. SAMSON's interactive tutorials eliminate this gap by embedding guidance directly into the platform. This approach allows you to learn by doing, fostering a much deeper understanding of the tools you are using. Additionally, the ability to quickly restart tutorials ensures you don’t lose time or momentum, even if you make mistakes along the way.
