-===== Interacting with slides =====
+===== Getting started with PIMS LS =====
+This article will get you up and running, opening your first image, and show you where you can pop open new panels to view the tools and information you want.
+==== Opening your first image =====
+PIMS LS will always start by default with the Slide Browser panel open on the left hand side of your screen (red box).
+All the files your admin has made available to you should appear in the folder tree-view. Navigate to an image and click it or drag it into the viewport (the large white space in the middle of the screen) to open it:
+{{:started_3.0.png|}}
+P.S. if you ever close the Slide Browser menu you can get it back open by clicking on any one of the Layouts on the Home tab:
+{{:started_1-3.0.png|}}
+Or by going to the Configure tab and turning on the Slide Navigation panel (highlighted in blue):
+{{:side-nav-3.0.png|}}
+==== Viewport ====
+The viewport is the main way you view and interact with images in PIMS LS.
+Navigating:
+  * Click and drag on the image to move around, or tap the arrow keys in the direction you want to move
+  * Quickzoom: Double click to zoom to the next level
+  * Zoom with mouse: Scroll in/out with your mouse wheel
+  * Zoom with touchpad / touchscreen: use your standard zoom controls e.g. pinch your fingers together, push two fingers forward/backward at the same time
+{{:viewer.jpg?|Picture #1. Viewer panel with single slide loaded}}
+Congratulations - you've opened and navigated your first image - where you go now is up to you
+=== Customizing your workflow ===
+There are a lot of different features in PIMS LS waiting for you to try - tools are organized in two main ways:
+  - Tabs in the Ribbon at the top left of the screen
+  - Panels
+You can read more about panels [[panels|on the dedicated page]], but briefly they are highly configurable mini-windows that show you more information about your slides, help you organize them, and perform powerful operations.
+You can quickly open several using the Layouts on the Home tab, or click the Custom Layout button to toggle on and off each panel individually:
+{{:started_1-3.0.png|}}
+Or by going to the Configure tab and turning panels on and off one by one:
+{{:side-nav-3.0.png|}}
+Happy experimenting!
