Basic settings
Review the settings that matter on a first launch and keep the safe defaults until you need to change them.
AlphaOpen App Settings
Select File → Settings, or press Ctrl + ,.
General
Keep autosave and the other project defaults enabled. English is recommended: localization is not a current development priority, so translated interface text may be incomplete or outdated.
Live State Source controls which integration provides the application-wide live state. See Live State Source before changing it.
Themes
Open View → Themes to select an included theme. You can also duplicate a theme and customize its colors for your workspace.
Automation
The Automation page controls which signal and step types appear in the authoring interface. Hide types you do not use to make the selection menus shorter. This changes their visibility in the interface; it does not remove existing automations.
Hotkeys
Keep the default hotkeys unless one conflicts with another application. Select a command to assign or clear its shortcut.
Plugins and security
Keep the default plugin and security policy for the first setup. Plugins run code inside Streaming Hub, so install packages only from sources you trust.
Logging and diagnostics
Keep the default logging level while learning the application. If something does not work, use Open Folder to find the diagnostic logs requested for troubleshooting.
Result
The application keeps its recommended defaults, uses English, and has a theme and interface catalog suited to your workspace.
