+''Web interface after creating a small investigation.''
+
+== Starting investigations ==
+There are a few ways of starting an investigation:
+* From a node when browsing files on the Queries page, this will bring up a new window with a new investigation starting from the clause the node is in.
+* By typing the signature of the function into the appropriate textbox in Module:Function/Arity format, then selecting a clause from the results.
+* Loading a previous investigation from the left side of the page.
+
+== Extending investigations ==
+You can select nodes from any investigation window, then run a predefined or custom query starting from that node.
+This will show the query's results on the left side of page.[[BR]]
+If there were any results a new window will be created and connected with the window the startnode is in.
+Selecting a result will put the clause that result is in into the newest window.
+
+You can create a new window for the same query by clicking Options and selecting New window in the last window created.
+You can now put another result in this new window.
+
+== Managing investigations ==
+You can move windows by dragging them.
+
+Clicking the Options button in an investigation window brings up some options for it:
+* Hide / Show contents: Show either the full contents of the clause or only the function name.
+* Rename: Renames the current investigation window after typing a new name in the appearing textbox and pressing enter.
+* Delete window: Deletes the curent window, you can only delete window with no children windows.
+* New window: Creates a new window when browsing query results, so you can keep more results.
+
+You can rename your whole investigation with the Rename button at the top of the page, then typing the name in the appearing textbox and pressing enter.[[BR]]
+You can save the current investigation with the Save button after typing in a name in the textbox left to it.
+
+== Persistency of investigations ==
+When loading an investigation, if the database changed since the last time it was saved, you get a warning.[[BR]]
+If the database changed at parts the investigation visited, then you can't continue from those parts, but can still see them.
