Research LogbookYour first project
A silent walkthrough of the actual Research Logbook app, with short written instructions and fictional dissertation notes.
Edited still captures from the unchanged app using a disposable example notebook; this is a guided screen tour, not a continuous recording. The video starts inside the app; it does not show Microsoft Store installation or the native folder chooser.
Before you start
- Install the free Windows x64 beta from Microsoft Store and select Open.
- Download a starter ZIP and Extract All into a new folder.
- Use About → Open another notebook folder, or hold Shift while opening the app.
- Choose Worked example, then select 7 November 2026. Choose Blank notebook for your own work.
Follow the work
- Read the working question and what is still uncertain.
- Write a concrete note about the action you took.
- Inspect the sketch and the caption beside it.
- Keep a reference to a detailed source note beside the daily context.
- Leave one next action and wait for Saved.
- Return to an earlier date and reopen the note to check it remains.
Use a made-up note for the first save-and-reopen check. Change the example name, project title and time zone before recording your own work.
