+# User Guide
+
+Welcome to the OpenMS Streamlit Web Application! This guide will help you understand how to use our tools effectively.
+
+## Advantages of OpenMS Web Apps
+
+OpenMS web applications provide a user-friendly interface for accessing the powerful features of OpenMS. Here are a few advantages:
+- **Accessibility**: Access powerful OpenMS algorithms and TOPP tools from any device with a web browser.
+- **Ease of Use**: Simplified user interface makes it easy for both beginners and experts to perform complex analyses.
+- **No Installation Required**: Use the tools without the need to install OpenMS locally, saving time and system resources.
+
+## Workspaces
+
+In the OpenMS web application, workspaces are designed to keep your analysis organized:
+- **Workspace Specific Parameters and Files**: Each workspace stores parameters and files (uploaded input files and results from workflows).
+- **Persistence**: Your workspaces and parameters are saved, so you can return to your analysis anytime and pick up where you left off.
+
+## Online and Local Mode Differences
+
+There are a few key differences between operating in online and local modes:
+- **File Uploads**:
+  - *Online Mode*: You can upload only one file at a time. This helps manage server load and optimizes performance.
+  - *Local Mode*: Multiple file uploads are supported, giving you flexibility when working with large datasets.
+- **Workspace Access**:
+  - In online mode, workspaces are stored temporarily and will be cleared after seven days of inactivity.
+  - In local mode, workspaces are saved on your local machine, allowing for persistent storage.
+
+## Downloading Results
+
+You can download the results of your analyses, including figures and tables, directly from the application:
+- **Figures**: Click the camera icon button, appearing while hovering on the top right corner of the figure. Set the desired image format in the settings panel in the side bar.
+- **Tables**: Use the download button to save tables in *csv* format, appearing while hovering on the top right corner of the table.
+
+## Getting Started

+To get started:
+1. Select or create a new workspace.
+2. Upload your data file.
+3. Set the necessary parameters for your analysis.
+4. Run the analysis.
