Control names appear in bold. Instructions apply to both iPad and Mac unless marked iPad or Mac. Long-press means touch and hold on iPad, or press and hold the mouse or trackpad button on Mac. Keyboard shortcuts require a hardware keyboard; pinch and swipe gestures on Mac use a trackpad. Screenshots illustrate the relevant tool; window size and platform can change the arrangement of controls.

A PRO label identifies a paid feature. Each feature page explains which pack unlocks it; Packs & purchases compares the options.
