What is the big banner on Home?
Section titled “What is the big banner on Home?”The banner at the top is the featured app, currently Crucible Heightmap. Its main button follows where you are with that app:

- Install adds the app to this PC.
- Update brings the app up to date.
- Launch opens it.
- Coming soon shows when the featured app is not out yet.

What are the cards under the banner?

- The dots under the cards jump to any card.
- The mouse wheel, or a click on a card, steps through them too.
- Each card has buttons for what it talks about, such as Open the Agent tab or Browse apps. Some open your browser.
