Documentation conventions

There are a few conventions used throughout the guide that are designed to be completely predictable – making it is easy to understand what you are reading and what you’re supposed to do.

Many of the commands are available from menus, toolbars, shortcut menus, and shortcut keys. Throughout this guide, most commands are explained using the menu commands. As you become more familiar with Surround SCM, you may find shortcut menus and shortcut keys more efficient to work with. When you are instructed to select a menu command, you will find the menu name, followed by an arrow. For example, to add a defect, choose Activities > Get. Indented text is also used to draw attention to notes, tips, examples, etc.
