When you are using Spotler for the first time, it helps to know its structure. For instance, did you know that there are always an Overview and an Archive in each module? And that every Overview has a prominent yellow button for that module's main action? For instance, the Messages module has a New message button. There are more similarities like that between the modules. Read more about how Spotler is structured in this introduction.
