The New Layout is now the default
Every EDUBase page that has a New Layout opens in it. The data, buttons and rules are the same as the classic layout; only the arrangement changes. The first time you land, a small note says You're on the New Layout. Switch back any time from your profile menu. Close it and it does not come back.
Going back to the classic layout
On one page: click View classic layout at the top of the page. To keep that page classic every time, click Make old layout my default there; Back to the new layout returns.
On every page: click your profile picture (top right) and choose Switch to classic layout everywhere. The same item then reads Use the New Layout everywhere to come back. A page you set yourself keeps your choice either way.
The tour guide
Small pulsing notes point at the main controls, up to three at a time. Each note has OK, which closes just that note; when all the notes on screen are closed, the next ones appear. The first notes are on the Dashboard: your profile menu, Appearance (themes), Ask Hina (the assistant, bottom right) and the layout switch. The Admissions pages (Admission Queries, the admission form, Manage Students, Admission Approvals) have their own notes. A note you closed does not come back by itself.
Hide or replay the guide
Hide all on any note closes every note and turns the guide off. To see the notes again from the start, open your profile picture menu and choose Show tour guide. Your choices are saved to your login, so they follow you to any computer.
