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 compact -- all 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.
