Hi, the general help pages are here: https://irecord.org.uk/help/how-do-i

If all you want is a community ID for a plant photo, I would suggest that iNaturalist or iSpot might be better than iRecord, which is primarily a recording website for folk who already have a good idea of what species they have seen. Whilst verifiers do respond to records and help to correct them if they are wrong, the other websites I mention are probably better for those with less experience in identification. That said, the iRecord app does now link to AI algorithms to help with identification, so you could also try installing that and using the photo ID feature. See https://irecord.org.uk/app
