User guides
Step-by-step guides for the people who use TYDAL, FullFrame and TYKERF, organized by role or task, with screenshots of each screen.
Updated
These guides are for the people who use TYDAL, FullFrame and TYKERF: members who browse, upload and share resources, the administrators who look after an organization, and the curators, authors, jurors and visitors of an exhibition, and the people who build web pages with TYKERF. They are maintained alongside the code in each product’s repository, so they always match the latest release.
To install, configure or build on TYDAL, see the developer documentation. For TYKERF, see its developer guide.
TYDAL
TYDAL is where your organization’s resources live: the library, the upload wizard with AI suggestions, tags, workspaces and the Vaults that share content outside TYDAL. Start with the TYDAL user guide, or go straight to a chapter:
| Chapter | For |
|---|---|
| Getting started | everyone |
| Finding resources | everyone |
| Adding resources | editors and up |
| Tags | editors and up |
| The basket and bulk actions | editors and up |
| Workspaces and Vaults | admins and up |
| Deleting and the trash | editors and up |
| Running your organization | admins and owners |
| Platform administration | platform admins |
FullFrame
FullFrame turns photographs stored in TYDAL into an online exhibition, with an optional jury and invited authors. Each person sees a different part of it. Start with the FullFrame user guide, or pick your role:
| Who | Guide |
|---|---|
| Visitors | Visiting an exhibition |
| Curators | Curating an exhibition |
| Invited authors | Sending your photographs |
| Jurors | Being on a jury |
| Administrators | Setting up in TYDAL |
For how FullFrame uses TYDAL under the hood, see FullFrame: a client built on TYDAL.
TYKERF
TYKERF builds and edits web pages block by block, by hand or with Kaity, its AI. Start with Why TYKERF and the TYKERF user guide, or pick a task:
| Task | Guide |
|---|---|
