looking for basic documentation

Thanks for your interest in the plugin and for your post. I know MLA has a lot going on and the documentation is long on reference and short on tutorials. Here is an earlier support topic along similar lines:

MLA Gallery Demo?!!

From there you can link to:

Simple Shortcodes

and on to additional support topics that might be useful. You have already found the Settings/Media Library Assistant Documentation tab. You can always use the browser’s “Find on this page” function to make the Documentation “searchable”.

As you can also see, this is an active forum. I am marking this topic resolved, but when you have specific questions or application ideas, I will do my best to help. Enjoy the plugin!
