Set up your screen

Throughout the programme you’ll keep this window open next to Claude, side by side, so you can follow along and try things as you go.

On one screen

Drag the programme window to the left edge until the left half lights up, then let go to snap it there; do the same with Claude to the right edge. On Windows you can also press Win + ← / →.

On two monitors

Drag the programme window to the top of your left monitor to maximise it, then Claude to the top of the right monitor.

Governance documents

Read these before using Claude on live work. Placeholders for now, the final documents will be linked here.
