-Maple IDE Documentation
-=======================
+Maple IDE
+=========
 
-Stub.
+.. figure:: /_static/img/ide-blinky.png
+   :align: center
+   :alt: Maple IDE
 
-.. TODO stub sections for all the other buttons, etc.
+This page documents the basic functionality of the Maple IDE.
+Specifically, it describes the operation of the buttons on the main
+toolbar.  It is expected to become more comprehensive over time.

-Serial Monitor
---------------
+The :ref:`Maple Quickstart <maple-quickstart>` is another source of
+information on the IDE; it is especially useful for setting up a
+computer for the first time.
 
 .. _ide-verify:
 
 Verify
 ------
 
+.. image:: /_static/img/button-verify.png
+   :align: left
+
+Click Verify to compile the current sketch.
+
+.. _ide-stop:
+
+Stop
+----
+
+.. image:: /_static/img/button-stop.png
+
+Click Stop to cancel a compilation.
+
+.. _ide-new:
+
+New
+---
+
+.. image:: /_static/img/button-new.png
+
+Click New to begin a fresh sketch.
+
+.. _ide-open:
+
+Open
+----
+
+.. image:: /_static/img/button-open.png
+
+Click Open to open a new sketch.  By default, this will look in you
+*sketchbook*, which is a directory on your system which contains all
+of your sketches.  The default directory of your sketchbook varies by
+operating system; you can change it in the IDE preferences.
+
+.. _ide-save:
+
+Save
+----
+
+.. image:: /_static/img/button-save.png
+
+Click Save to save the currently opened sketch.
+
 .. _ide-upload:
 
 Upload
 ------
+
+.. image:: /_static/img/button-upload.png
+
+Click Upload to send the compiled sketch to your Maple to run.  Before
+you click Upload, you must have a memory location and serial port
+selected.  The memory location, either Flash or RAM, determines
+whether the compiled sketch binary will be stored on the Maple.  You
+can choose this using the Tools > Board menu.  The serial port
+corresponds to the Serial-over-USB connection the Maple has
+established with your computer.  This looks like "COM1", "COM2",
+etc. on Windows, "/dev/tty.usbmodemXXX" on Mac (where "XXX" is some
+sequence of letters and numbers), or "/dev/ttyACMXXX" on Linux (again,
+where "XXX" is some sequence of letters and numbers).  You can choose
+a serial port using the Tools > Serial Port menu.
+
+If you click Upload without having made these choices; The IDE
+*should* prompt you to do so.  However, if you're trying to upload and
+are unsuccessful, make sure you've made choices for both board and
+serial port.
+
+For more help, the upload process is documented in more detail (with
+screenshots) in the :ref:`quickstart <maple-quickstart-upload>`.
+
+If all else fails, try putting your Maple in :ref:`perpetual
+bootloader mode <troubleshooting-perpetual-bootloader>` before
+uploading.
+
+In any case, you can always find us on the `forum`_ or `contact us
+directly`_.
+
+.. _ide-serial-monitor:
+
+Serial Monitor
+--------------
+
+.. image:: /_static/img/button-serial-monitor.png
+
+Click Serial Monitor to open up a communications channel between your
+PC and the Maple's :ref:`Serial-over-USB <lang-serialusb>`
+(``SerialUSB``) virtual serial port.
+
+If the serial monitor is open, any information sent to the computer
+(e.g. using :ref:`SerialUSB.println() <lang-serialusb-println>` will
+be displayed in the large text area.  You can send data to the Maple
+(to be read with e.g. :ref:`SerialUSB.read() <lang-serialusb-read>`)
+by typing into the small text box and either hitting the Enter key or
+pressing the Send button.
+
+Here is an example serial monitor session with the InteractiveTest
+sketch (which you can load in the IDE by choosing menu item File >
+Examples > Maple > InteractiveTest):
+
+.. image:: /_static/img/serial-monitor.png
+
+This is the result of typing "?" in the text box and clicking Send.
+
+.. note:: You cannot upload a sketch while the serial monitor is open.
+   If you click :ref:`Upload <ide-upload>` while the serial monitor is
+   open, the IDE will close it for you before proceeding with the
+   upload.
