Under the Learn Arctos tab, there are a number of resources that can help with learning how to navigate Arctos. We are continuing to add to these resources to help make the Arctos learning experience easier. If you have a standard operating procedure (SOP) or other resources that you use when working with Arctos, please consider adding them to the Arctos Handbook to help other Arctos users. To do so, visit handbook.arctosdb.org/how_to/How-to-Contribute-Content-to-Arctos-Handbook.html for step by step instructions.
