Recipes & Manuals

Recipes are guides for users who are already familiar with Globus and want to achieve some specific goal. They are focused and task-oriented, and assume that the reader is already familiar with the platform.

Manuals are reference material which provide technical details, but without any narrative structure.

Although these docs should be instructive, their main purpose is to document the correct way to complete a task or the details needed to interact with a service or application. More learning-oriented instructional documentation can be found under Tutorials.
