Using the Setup Wizard

The Setup Wizard makes getting started with Lectora easy. The Wizard will recognize if you are upgrading from a previous version of Lectora and allow you to transfer settings for your library objects, media objects, publish strings, custom colors, and custom templates, along with your custom settings for eLearning Brothers, CourseMill, ReviewLink, and saved FTP profiles.

The Setup Wizards appears when you initially install a new release. To reopen it, open Lectora and select Setup Wizard from the Help Menu pull-down in the upper-right corner.
