<title>Experience Levels for VirtualBox Manager</title>
<body>
<p>When you use <ph conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/vbox-mgr"/> to configure settings for virtual machines, you
can select an <i>experience level</i> for the user interface. The following experience levels are available:</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p><b>Basic.</b> Only a limited number of settings and tools are shown. Workflows are used to display settings and configuration options. This is the default setting for new installations.</p>
<p>This level is suitable for a first time user of <ph conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/product-name"/>.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><b>Expert.</b> All available settings and tools are shown.</p>
<p>Single pages show all settings and configuration options. This is the default setting for upgrades when a user already has at least one saved VM.</p>
<p>This level is suitable for an experienced user who needs more control of virtual machine settings.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p>Experience levels can be configured in the following places in <ph conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/vbox-mgr"
/>:</p>
<ul>
<li><p>The <b>Welcome</b> screen, for new installations only.</p>
</li>
<li><p>The <b>Preferences</b> window.</p>
</li>
<li><p>The <b>Settings</b> window for a virtual machine.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p>Wherever you set it, the preference applies throughout <ph conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/vbox-mgr"/>. </p>
