MPS 2018.2 Help

Welcome Screen

Overview

MPS displays the Welcome screen when no project is open. From this screen, you can quickly access the major starting points of MPS. The Welcome screen appears when you close the current project in the only instance of MPS. If you are working with multiple projects, usually closing a project results in closing the MPS window in which it was running, except for the last project, closing this will show the Welcome screen.
