 ====== Tutorials ======
+Tutorials provide step by step examples on how to create drawings for a specific purpose. Tutorials supplement the [[https://librecad.readthedocs.io/en/latest/index.html|User Manual]], particularly the [[https://librecad.readthedocs.io/en/latest/guides/index.html|User Guides]]. A tutorial doesn’t require a full understanding of the commands used, but provides sufficient detail to allow the user to complete the drawing.
+Be aware that LibreCAD functionality and interface has changed over time but some things are still demonstrated well in an old interface. Look for tutorials in your preferred language.
+Over time more tutorials will be added to this wiki but at the start the links go to the old wiki. Feel free to add tutorial or video links with a brief description including the LibreCAD version used.
+Navigate within this page using the table of contents on the top right side of this page.
