Application settings and tools reference
Short answer: The left sidebar holds Library, Tools (test patterns, curtain warmer, vignettes, masks, watermark, shortcuts), Application Settings (account, version, outputs, display, sound, advanced), Profile, Computer Performance, Support and Logout. Click the three lines at the top to collapse or expand it.
Library
The default page. The refresh button (top right) reloads your shows; it doesn't visibly press, but it works.
Tools

|---|---|
| Test Patterns | None/Grid (grid and logo), Colors, Grayscale on the output for projector setup |
| Curtain Warmer | Replace the App Master with a .png or .jpeg (Upload → Open; Revert to restore) |
| Vignettes | Apply a preset (A–E) or upload your own to every cue; Revert removes it |
