The first step in getting acquainted with the new program -studying its user interface. At first glance, a large number of different elements can scare away, but everything becomes easier if you break them into separate groups.

At the edges of the screen are triangular pointers, when you click on which you can fold and expand individual blocks.
You can also resize the blocks of the main screen by hovering over the edge of the desired block so that a two-sided arrow appears.
If you have multiple monitors or onelarge monitor, then you can open a second window to display all the blocks of the main screen at the same time. To do this, select the Second Window command from the View menu or press [CTRL] + [SHIFT] + [W] on Windows or [CMD] + [SHIFT] + [W] on the Mac.
