About This Guide
This guide is designed to be accessible, with subsections as complete as practical to minimize having to electronically leaf
back and forth looking for the whole story. The entire manual does not need to be read to figure out how to use ShowBox.
As the saying goes, “a picture tells a 1000 words”. With that thought in mind, we added quite a few illustrations, screenshots
and other images throughout to accompany the text.
This icon marks information that is critically important or unique! For your own good, read and remember
them.
There’s an illustration of a microscope, so, of course, you’re going to get more detailed information
when you see this little guy. There are explanations of features and practical tips listed here.
It’s a good idea to pay attention to text displayed next to a note icon, as this icon draws attention
to certain features and functions relating to the usage of ShowBox.
