Symbiota Training VideosShort introductory videos on navigating the Symbiota portal and editing administrative permissions can be found on the LepNet website. Note that these tutorials are conducted on the SCAN portal, but the same general principles apply to any Symbiota portal.

Other Symbiota InstructionsHelpful instructions on using a Symbiota portal are included in the Mid-Atlantic Megalopolis (MAM) Thematic Collections Network Training Manual, but note that our workflow and portal differ from MAM's. Much of the CAP TCN portal guide was adapted from this manual.
