Path: [Get started](../get-started.md) > Learn · tier official · system none · narrative reviewed (checked by Opus)

## Overview

This section collects learning material for people new to Business Central. Two subtopics provide hands-on practice: step-by-step business process walkthroughs that use the CRONUS demonstration company, and Contoso Coffee demo data, a fictitious company dataset for trying out scenarios.

Two standalone pages point to further help. Resources for users links to documentation, community forums, release plans, apps, mobile access and support materials. The video library links to introduction videos, product videos reached from Role Centers, and the Business Central YouTube channel.

Start with the video library or Resources for users for orientation. Then use the walkthroughs for common finance, sales, purchasing and warehouse tasks, or Contoso Coffee for manufacturing, warehousing, service and quality management scenarios.

## Key points

- Business process walkthroughs (9 pages) are step-by-step scenarios in the CRONUS demonstration company.
- Walkthrough topics include sales campaigns, prepayments, purchase approvals, projects and WIP, warehouse picking, cash flow forecasts, and the Shopify Connector.
- Contoso Coffee demo data (23 pages) is a fictitious company dataset for learning the product.
- Contoso Coffee scenarios cover manufacturing, warehousing, service and quality management.
- Resources for users links to documentation, community, release plans, Marketplace apps, mobile app access, reporting guides and Power Platform integration.
