Conventions used in this help file.
This help file covers all four types of Cochrane review, but is focuses primarily on Cochrane Intervention reviews because these are by far the most common. There are special sections for the features that are specific to the other review types.
In this help file, we generally use the term 'review' to describe a Cochrane review regardless of its stage or type, and the more precise terms 'Title', 'Protocol', and 'Full Review' to refer to specific stages of the review.
Menu actions will be described using the '>' sign. For example, "... use File > Import > Text of review" means that you should:
Click on File on the menu bar to open the File menu.
Move the pointer to the Import section to expand its subsections.
Click on the Text of Review item.
We will use the term 'right-click menu' for what is also known as a 'context menu'. Most computers will be equipped with a mouse with multiple buttons, and on these, the menu will be activated by clicking the right button. If you have a single-button mouse, you will need to use a keyboard-click combination to open the menu. On Mac OS, the combination is Ctrl-click.
