Expert Mode and Guide Mode

Most of the choices on the menu bar, toolbar, and popup menus lead to either configuration windows or to guide steps. Configuration windows are compactall your options are presented together, without explanatory words. To see explanations, you click Help. Guide steps, on the other hand, present one option at a time and explain your entries for that option.

When you use configuration windows, you are in expert mode; when you use guide steps, you are in guide mode. To choose a mode, click either the Guide or Expert button on the toolbar, or click the Guide or Expert radio button on the CMS menu. By default, CMS is in expert mode.

Note: Not all CMS configuration features have guide-mode support. You can see whether a feature has guide-mode support by looking at the menu-bar item for the feature. An item with the icon has guide-mode support.
