Menus

This guide only covers menus whos functionality is not covered in the other sections.

Actions Menu (Menu Bar):

The Actions menu has the following commands:
  • Undo: undoes your last change

  • Redo: redoes your last undone change
  • The undo or redo operation will be available even after application exit or machine shutdown.
  • Restore state: Clicking this command will bring up the 'Restore State' window:

    • Please note that although this window has checkboxes, you cannot select multiple states. This is just the 'Categories' window being reused to reduce program size
