# Workflows for Students

These guides answer the question *"how do I do X?"* for students who already have working familiarity with Nuvolos. If you are new to the platform, start with the [Student tutorials](/tutorials/tutorials-for-students.md) first - they take you from zero to your first submitted assignment by following along.

The guides are organised by where you are in your course lifecycle:

* **Join and get oriented** - accept your invitation, find your materials, understand the layout.
* **Use applications and files** - start and stop applications, work with files, navigate the storage areas.
* **Complete and submit assignments** - work on assignments, hand them in, review feedback.
* **Save and recover work** - take snapshots, restore from snapshots, version your work.
* **Collaborate and use special resources** - group projects, GPU access, course-specific tools.
* **Finish and take work with you** - leave a course, work with archived courses, export files.

Each page assumes you can navigate Nuvolos's Dashboard, sidebar, and breadcrumbs. If anything in the interface is unfamiliar, see [Getting Started › Find your way around](/getting-started/find-your-way-around.md).

### Where to go next

* For a guided first-day walk-through (invitation → application → assignment), see [Student tutorials](/tutorials/tutorials-for-students.md).
* For procedures every role shares (invitations, Applications, snapshots), see [How-to › Common Workflows](/how-to-guides/common-workflows.md).
* For the conceptual model behind instances, snapshots, and the rest of the Nuvolos hierarchy, see [Concepts](/concepts/nuvolos-basic-concepts.md).
* For terms you don't recognise, see [Getting Started › Glossary](/getting-started/glossary.md).
