Install, settings, updates, and security are on these pages. The tutorial center in the app has the same steps, and a few of those lessons move the pointer across the interface.

Screenshots: If it will not open, or you do not know where to click, start with the tutorial center, then Settings → Tools and approvals, then the system check under Settings → System.

How to open the tutorial in the app

  1. Click the question mark at the bottom of the activity bar. Lessons are grouped into Getting started, Tasks, Workbench, Computer use, and Settings.
  2. What’s new lists what was added since you last opened it. A lesson marked “I’ll walk you through it” moves the pointer step by step.
  3. Each settings page and each workbench page also has Tutorial next to the title, and it opens that explanation.
  4. While a pointer lesson is running, Esc only leaves the lesson. It does not stop a task that is running.

Check it by the window you are in

Before a model is connected, the input tells you to open Settings → Models, and the draft you already wrote stays. If the kernel did not start, the message points you to the one-click check under Settings → System. If a command is sitting there, it is waiting for Allow. If you do not click for 30 minutes, that counts as a no. If the pointer is stuck on a button, it may be a lesson marked “I’ll walk you through it.” Esc only leaves the lesson.

If computer use does nothing, look at Settings → Computer use and see whether it still says Start setup. It is off by default. On a Mac it needs Accessibility and Screen Recording. The emergency stop is ⌃⌥⌘. , and Stop also appears at the top of the screen.
