A cheat sheet is a
view that opens in the active perspective to guide you through complex tasks.
Using a cheat sheet
Only one cheat sheet can be open and active. If a cheat
sheet is open and another is launched, the opened cheat sheet is closed before
the new one opens.
When a cheat sheet is closed, its completion status is automatically
saved. The next time the cheat sheet is opened, the completion status appears.
Work through the steps in the order
presented. For each step, you can choose actions that perform work
automatically, allow you to perform the work, or allow you to skip optional
steps.

Click to Complete – indicates that the described step is
