Options → Expert mode. Gives you access to some of the more advanced tools, which are shown in the table below.
Profiles. This menu gives you access to the configuration profile features.
Help → Help. Opens the help browser which displays documentation about the active configuration tool.
Help → Report Bug. Allows you to report a bug to the development team..

The tools are sorted into categories. The following table lists them all and refers to the corresponding sections of this manual.
