How to use Plutus, screen by screen.
Step-by-step guides with a screenshot of every screen they mention. Each step names the menu to open and the button to press, and screenshots outline that button in gold.

About these guides
Sample company, real screens.
- The screenshots come from Plutus Cloud, set up for two fictional companies, Sample Trading Ltd in Nigeria and Sample Trading Kenya Ltd. Every name and figure in them is sample data.
- You only see the menus your role allows. Each guide says which roles can do what it describes.
- Plutus Desktop has the same screens, except Tax Settings: its current release (build 43) runs payroll for Nigeria only.
