Help button opens a drop-down menu from which you can access the quick help for the current page, follow links to the full SiteCaster documentation, the list of
key combinations, the SiteCaster tutorial videos and the link to the
Open Source Licences. Clicking the
user button on the right opens a drop-down menu containing the following options:
- Settings: Opens the User settings dialog.
- User: Opens the SiteRemote user settings.
- Logout: Ends the SiteCaster editor session.
