Adds a screenshot of each dialog and notes Recommended Track Sets in the Genome Browser menu list. refs #37355 Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> diff --git docs/tutorials/gb101.md docs/tutorials/gb101.md index 6b4fe5249c4..b4a85dbc9d9 100644 --- docs/tutorials/gb101.md +++ docs/tutorials/gb101.md @@ -72,31 +72,31 @@ <div class="col-md-6"> ```image src=/images/bluebarMenuGif.gif width=70% ``` </div> <div class="col-md-6"> The navigation bar at the top of the page will allow you to access our tools, downloads, and help pages.
