  2. Quick start A first search, a first watch, and the one switch that makes a watch run on its own.
  3. Install and launch The downloads and their status, the first launch, updates, the resmon command, the background service, and running from source.
  4. Today The collection as a map, and the papers collected since you last marked all read.
  5. Search Searching what you hold, asking the sources for more, runs, saved searches, and shared wording.
  6. Watches and people Making a watch, its schedule and dates, where reports go, the coverage audit, and watching for a person.
