<title>Experience Levels for VirtualBox Manager</title>
|
|
<body>
|
|
<p>When you use <ph conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/vbox-mgr"/> to configure settings for virtual machines, you
|
|
can select an <i>experience level</i> for the user interface. The following experience levels are available:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p><b>Basic.</b> Only a limited number of settings and tools are shown. Workflows are used to display settings and configuration options. This is the default setting for new installations.</p>
|
|
<p>This level is suitable for a first time user of <ph conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/product-name"/>.</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p><b>Expert.</b> All available settings and tools are shown.</p>
|
|
<p>Single pages show all settings and configuration options. This is the default setting for upgrades when a user already has at least one saved VM.</p>
|
|
<p>This level is suitable for an experienced user who needs more control of virtual machine settings.</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>Experience levels can be configured in the following places in <ph conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/vbox-mgr"
|
|
/>:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><p>The <b>Welcome</b> screen, for new installations only.</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li><p>The <b>Preferences</b> window.</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li><p>The <b>Settings</b> window for a virtual machine.</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>Wherever you set it, the preference applies throughout <ph conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/vbox-mgr"/>. </p>
