Quick Workflow

Follow these steps after your experiment to create an ELN archive you can import into eLabFTW or other ELN tools.

  1. Launch the app (cargo run or open your packaged binary).
  2. Write your notes in the Markdown editor.
  3. Add files in the Attachments list: raw data, images, scripts. Rename in-place if needed; the app will sanitize names for the archive.
  4. Set date and time in the Date & Time Picker. Use the original experiment time.
  5. Metadata and Keywords: add search terms and any instrument/sample fields you want to carry into your ELN.
  6. Click Save ELN archive, choose a destination folder. If the button is disabled, see Saving ELN Archives for the required fields.
  7. You now have an ELN archive on disk. Everything above works fully offline; import it later into your ELN (e.g., eLabFTW) once you are back online or transferred the ELN archive to a computer with an internet connection.
