# 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).

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.nuvolos.com/how-to-guides/workflows-for-students.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
