Prompts you might see during installation
Windows: "Windows protected your PC"
Microsoft SmartScreen shows this for newly released software. Click "More info" → "Run anyway."
macOS: "Cannot be opened because the developer cannot be verified"
The latest version is signed and notarized by Apple, so this normally won't appear. If you hit it on an early version: go to "System Settings → Privacy & Security" and click "Open Anyway" near the bottom, or just download the latest version.

The most-used entries in the sidebar are "Connect device," "New group," and "Settings":

This short demo shows the whole path: connect a device from the sidebar, select devices for batch operations, then open the single-device control window.
Interface language and theme
At the bottom of the sidebar you can switch between 中文/English and light/dark themes.
