solved can't find "getting started"

[rob213]

In the user manual, I read the following, but can't find it. I go to alfred pref → click on workflows, and then what ?

 

thanks in advance for your time and help

 

Creating a workflow

To get started with these guides, open Alfred's preferences to the Workflows preferences.

With no workflow selected in the sidebar, you'll see a block of options in the centre of the canvas; Choose the "Getting Started Guide".

 

Getting Started: Keyword to Web Search - Alfred Help and Support

Are images not loading for you? Right below those instructions is a screenshot pointing exactly to where it is. It will be on the right hand side of the preferences.

How do you "select no workflow in the sidebar" ? there is always one selected and I can't find a way to see this:

thank you for your patience

Not when you first open the Preferences. Close them and open them again.

thank you @vitor. It's clear now. I would consider this to be a very irritating bug. I spent more than an hour on this today looking for it, and I am exasperated. I am probably not the only one trying to get through the user manual and hitting a stumbling block on the first page. Thanks very much for your patience and help.

A bug is unintended behaviour but this is working as expected. I’m not aware of any other cases of users bumping into this (I personally link people to that page on occasion) but if it turns out to be common we’d definitely consider alternative approaches.

OK thank you Vitor

Adding to this, deselecting a workflow in the workflow list uses the standard macOS selection paradigm of ⌘clicking the item.

 

You could alternatively click some of the empty purple space below the workflows in the workflow table (if you don't have many workflows installed)
