With the introduction of the START view, the SETUP and PRODUCTION views become dedicated to your open show:

• The Shows panel in START view shows a list of your local shows

• The Launch panel in SETUP and PRODUCTION only shows levels and control panels of the open show

• The SETUP view needs an open show. Changes made in this view are stored in the open show

• The PRODUCTION view needs a running level. Changes made in this view are stored in the linked project
