+''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 'Saved Investigations' tab.
+
+== 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 'Last result' tab.[[BR]]
+If there were any results a new window will be created and connected with the window the starting node 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 from the last window created.
+You can now put another result in this new window.
+
+== Managing investigations ==
+You can move windows by dragging them.[[BR]]
+You can select then move multiple windows too.[[BR]]
+You can also resize windows at their edges.[[BR]]
+Doubleclicking on a window moves that window into view.[[BR]]
+You can zoom the whole investigation, by holding ctrl and left click and dragging the mouse vertically.[[BR]]
+Doubleclicking anywhere but a window will reset the zoom level.
+
+Clicking the Options button in an investigation window brings up some options for it:
+* New window: Creates a new window when browsing query results, so you can keep more results (only available in last window created).
+* Delete window: Deletes the current window, you can only delete a window with no children windows.
+* Hide / Show contents: Show either the full contents of the clause or only the function name. (this is also available outside the options list)
+* Add / Edit Annotation: Connects a smaller annotation window to a window in which you can place a description text, an empty text will remove the annotation window.
+* Move to new investigation: Moves the subtree starting from that window to a new investigation, and leaves a link in the current one. It will ask for a new and old name for the created and the modified investigation, just type the desired names and press enter.
+* Rename: Renames the current investigation window after typing a new name in the appearing textbox and pressing enter.
+* Start new inv. from here: Starts a whole new investigation from the current clause.
+
+You can rename your whole investigation with the Rename button at the top left 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.
+If the current investigation is modified and you want to start/load another one, you'll have to confirm that you don't want to save 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.
