Indiana UniversityDesignPLUS Sidebar Guide for New Users

Welcome to IU's guide to the DesignPlus Sidebar. If you are completely new to DesignPlus, we suggest working through the modules in this course in their original order (shown below). For a refresher on a specific topic, use the User Guide Navigation at the top right corner of this page or locate the desired topic in the Modules tool.

Some of the content in this guide is based on content from the Cidi Labs DesignPlus User Guide. Unlike the Cidi Labs guide, however, in which most content is organized alphabetically in the manner of a reference tool, this guide was designed primarily for users who need guidance on where and how to get started with the DesignPlus Sidebar. Each topic builds on information covered previously. This guide does not cover the interactive components, usability and accessibility tools, or the advanced editing capabilities of DesignPlus. Consult the Cidi Labs DesignPlus User Guide for information and instructions on using these features.
