How to use it well

Import a small set of documents and define tags with clear meanings before starting a large coding project. Review highlighted passages by tag to identify inconsistent interpretations and revise the codebook as needed. Export coded evidence at milestones and retain the original documents so quotations can always be checked in context.

This is best suited to researchers organizing themes in textual sources. Before committing a larger project, account for these trade-offs: less specialized for rich media analysis; shared deployments require administration.
