= Expert view =

In Expert view mode all screen elements are visible.
By default the amount of elements visible for new users is reduced.
This should protect newbies from doing unwanted things. 
Most actions are still accessible by their Shortcut keys even when Expert view is disabled.

== Enabling Expert view ==

It can be switched like this:

''[wikitr:/Help/Menu/View View menu]'' > [[Image(source:trunk/images/expert.png,middle)]] ''Expert Mode''[[BR]]or[[BR]]
 ''[wikitr:/Help/Menu/Edit Edit menu]'' > [[Image(source:trunk/images/preference.png,20,middle)]] ''[wikitr:/Help/Action/Preferences Preferences…]'' > Checkbox ''Expert mode'' at the bottom left.
