## Welcome screen

The first time the board opens in a browser, a welcome window shows three cards: **Your Data is Stored Locally**, **Working Across Devices?** and **Share with Remote Boards**. Click **Got it** to close it for good in that browser, or **Learn how →** to open the **Import / Export** guide.

## Help & What's New

Click the **FlashBoards menu** (the logo at the top left of the board), then **What’s new**. **Keyboard shortcuts…** opens the same window on **Shortcuts**, and **Help & documentation** opens the Help Center in your browser. For these docs, click **Documentation** at the bottom of the Help window. A dot next to **What’s new** means there are updates you haven't seen. Tabs:

* **What's New**: the latest changes.
* **Feature Updates**: **Open Pop-up** and **Recent Announcements**.
* **Shortcuts**: common shortcuts. For the full list, see [Keyboard shortcuts](https://flashboards.yaroflasher.com/docs/reference/keyboard-shortcuts.md).
* **Guides**: **Import / Export**, **Gen. History** and **Storage Health**. A dot marks guides you haven't visited.

**All releases**, **Documentation** and **All guides** in the footer open the release notes, these docs and the help pages.

## Feature update pop-ups

New announcements open in a pop-up once per session. Use **Previous** and **Next** to browse, and reopen it any time from **Feature Updates → Open Pop-up**.

To stop them, turn off **Show Feature Update Pop-ups** in **Settings → General** (web only).
