# How do I use K-Stra? User guides, step by step

Nine short guides for the people who use K-Stra every day, written against the app as it is today.

In short

The K-Stra user guides explain the app task by task, with the exact names of buttons and steps: from the first visit and the first analysis to importing data, building reports, sharing with colleagues and managing credits. Every limit is listed with its value, as checked on the app on 2 November 2026.
