What you see on first launch

After installation, the main window is typically organized into these areas:

• Top menu and window bar — File / View / Help and window controls
• Central workspace — terminal tabs and split panes inside the active tab
• Left activity bar and panels — file explorer, network, Security/Auth, and related capability entry points
• Right activity bar and panels — saved connections, active sessions, command history, and resource monitor
• Bottom helper area — quick commands, serial send, recording, and lock actions

Some workflows open dedicated child windows instead of interrupting the main workspace, such as:

• Settings
• New session / connection creation
• Quick command editing
• Auto-upload prompts

Suggested first run

For a first pass through the app, try this order:

1. Open Quick Start
2. Create one SSH connection
3. Create one Local Terminal to experience the mixed workspace model
4. Open the file explorer and transfer queue in the SSH session
5. Try command history, quick commands, and terminal search
