What each lesson covers

The guide, lesson by lesson.

01

Choose by deliverable

Start from what needs to exist at the end, not the tool label.

The client wants the lease summary as a PDF they can fill in and sign, not a Word file. Turn the attached lease-summary.docx into a PDF with a signature field and a date field on the last page.

02

Edit with context

Keep source material, constraints, and brand rules available while you refine.

With the Q3 board deck open in the Slide editor and the editing chip showing its name, attach q3-actuals.xlsx and type: Update the revenue figures on slide 4 from the attached actuals. Keep the layout, fonts and colours exactly as they are.

03

Export and continue

Move finished work into the format and system where it belongs.

Download the finished roster from the Sheet editor as .xlsx and open it in Excel; check the weekly-total formulas still calculate. Then back in Oppermind type: Also give me this roster as a PDF for the staff noticeboard, one week per page.
