Lessons

What is the Lesson?

The lesson is a collection of all the mental notes that are currently scheduled to be studied.

Why can't I add my notes to the Lesson?

The lesson is prepared automatically for you, based on the lesson schedule you have selected in the preferences (and in your cases and notes). When a note passes its due date, it is added to the lesson automatically. So you don't add notes to the lesson yourself — Mental Case does it automatically for you. All you have to do is choose the lesson schedule that you want to be used for your notes.

Can I study my notes outside the Lesson?

Yes. Simply select the notes or cases that you want to study, and choose one of the slide show viewing options from the Slide Show menu (eg View Notes in Case). Using this approach, you can study any notes you like at any time, independently of the Lesson.

Can I turn off the Lesson?

Yes. Go to the preferences (Mental Case > Preferences...), and in the Notes tab, choose None as the Lesson schedule.

Slide Shows

Can I navigate a slide show manually, rather than have Mental Case change the slides automatically?

Kinda. There are two ways you can get behavior something like this. The first is simply to pause the slide show as soon as it starts, and leave it paused for the whole show. The second is to set the slide viewing times in the preferences to maximum. Provided you don't have slides that need more time than the maximum to view, you will effectively be able to navigate manually.
