Using the key
As this is an multi-entry identification key, you can select any character to start with.

Use the ‘Best’ and ‘Next Best’ buttons (shown below) to select the best possible character to identify the remaining taxa.
Use the ‘Character’ and ‘Taxa’ thumbnail buttons (shown below) to hide or expand the previews of the images.
