The following scheme illustrates the concept of the SUSE Studio appliance editor.

The main parts represent the available tabs in the editor, the content below shows the functions.

The standard workflow is following:

• Check and adjust repositories and select software
• Adjust the available parts of the system configuration and user settings
• Add overlay files
  • This files will be added to the appliance in the last build step and they will overwrite the template defaults
• Create your build
• Test the build in the testdrive
  • The running testdrive allows you to change the configuration online.
  • Files that are different to the stored image will be displayed in the testdrive tab "Modified files"
  • You can move the changed files to the "Overlay files" tab with a few clicks
• Start a new build and your changes will be implemented via the new overlay files during the appliance creation
• Start a new test in the testdrive

You can go on with a kind of guided text tour.
