How they read

Written to be searched, not studied

Search as you type

Type any label you see in the application into the search box at the top and the document filters down to the sections that mention it. Press / to jump into the box.

A screenshot per screen

Every panel, dialog and button is shown as it appears in the product. Click a screenshot to open it full size.

Light, dark and printable

Both manuals follow the same light and dark themes as the applications, remember your choice, and print cleanly without the navigation.
