Good to know

• New screens start with sensible settings: the Field guide layout, the talk reminder and the attract loop switched on. You can change any of them now or later.
• The Live preview beside the form shows the screen as you change it, drawn from your live exhibit.
• The screen's link is made from its name and is fixed once the screen is added. Renaming the screen later doesn't change it.
• The screen updates itself whenever you change the exhibit, its animals or the screen's settings.
• Live Labels are included on every plan.
