-_If you are new to Arvados and want to get started quickly, go to "Accessing Arvados Workbench.":{{site.baseurl}}/user/getting_started/workbench.html_
+_If you are new to Arvados, please read the "Getting Started":{{site.baseurl}}/start/index.html guide for a quick introduction to working with Arvados._
-This guide provides an introduction to using Arvados to solve big data bioinformatics problems, including:
+This guide provides a reference for using Arvados to solve big data bioinformatics problems, including:
* Robust storage of very large files, such as whole genome sequences, using the "Arvados Keep":{{site.baseurl}}/user/tutorials/tutorial-keep.html content-addressable cluster file system.
* Running compute-intensive genomic analysis pipelines, such as alignment and variant calls using the "Arvados Crunch":{{site.baseurl}}/user/tutorials/intro-crunch.html cluster compute engine.
* Storing and querying metadata about genome sequence files, such as human subjects and their phenotypic traits using the "Arvados Metadata Database.":{{site.baseurl}}/user/topics/tutorial-trait-search.html
* Accessing, organizing, and sharing data, pipelines and results using the "Arvados Workbench":{{site.baseurl}}/user/getting_started/workbench.html web application.
+This User Guide goes into more depth than the "Getting Started guide":{{site.baseurl}}/start/index.html, covers how to develop your own pipelines in addition to using pre-existing pipelines, covers the Arvados commandline tools in addition to the Workbench graphical interface to Arvados, and can be referenced in any order.
