Help & User Guide

This help page provides guidance across the My Digital Garden interface. More detailed walkthroughs will be added in future updates.

Getting Started

  • Sign in and open your dashboard to access key features.
  • Create your first property to start organizing your garden records.
  • Add garden items and progressively enrich them with location, photos, and timeline events.

Navigation Overview

  • Dashboard: quick access to common actions.
  • Properties: manage your property profile and location.
  • Items: create, edit, and review your garden items.
  • Map: view geolocated properties and items.
  • Export: generate downloadable data exports.

Properties

Use Properties to define where your garden records belong. You can edit address details and location coordinates. Account limits may apply based on plan type.

Garden Items

Use Quick Add for fast item capture, or full item create/edit screens for detailed data. Assign property, type, and optionally area when available.

Map

The map displays geolocated records. Property and item markers appear when coordinates exist. Open map popups to navigate to related records.

Photos & Timeline

Add photos to visually track progress and use timeline events to record key milestones over time.

Export

Export creates a portable package of your recorded data so your garden history remains under your control.

Account & Admin

Account details are shown on the dashboard. Admin tools are available only to users with administrator access.

Troubleshooting

  • If map tiles do not update while debugging, use refresh or hot reload.
  • If an action fails, confirm required fields are complete.
  • If a page is unavailable, sign in again and retry.
