The Lightforge interface is designed to be very customizable and allow you the ability to set up the interface in whatever manner makes the most sense to you, or however makes the most sense for your particular application. The interface is made up of '''panels''' that can be scaled, split into multiple panels, changed to different panels, or removed entirely.

			== Menu ==
			===File===
			* New Show - Creates a brand new [[show file]], without any [[cuelist]]s
			* New Cuelist - Creates a new cuelist inside the existing [[show file]]
			* Open - Opens a previously saved [[show file]] - ''NOTE:'' that opening may pause UI for several minutes, and even after you regain control it takes a minute or so for the entire cue to rebuild - accessing some cues prematurely may result in unexpected behavior.
			* Lead Default Show - Create a brand new [[show file]] based on the [[default show]] as stored.
			* Save - saves over the existing [[show file]]
			** ''NOTE:'' - LightForge will autosave on every change to a temporary file in AppData - that will be automatically restored when LightForge is reopened, but should not be relied upon for an actual save. Opening another show will delete this temporary file and may result in a loss of changes made after an intentional user-initiated save action.
			* Save As - saves the current show as a new [[show file]]
			* Asset Manager - Allows you to update [[fixture profiles]] or [[effects]] from the developer and/or share your own back to the developer
			* Bundle Show - Packages an entire show including all audio files into a single file that can be imported elsewhere.
			* Import: ABility to import a [[fixture profile]], [[effect]], or [[cuelist]] from an XML file
			* Export: Ability to export a [[fixture profile]] or [[cuelist]] to an XML file.

			===Edit===
			* Undo -- do not click but rather hover over this menu item and select the item you want to undo - this may take several seconds to implement and is not [[show safe]]
			* Redo -- does not work reliably
			* [[Settings Menu]]
			* Sync Mobile Device -- displays a QR code for a mobile device to have basic access to the rig
			* Value Mode -- allows you to select how you want values displayed on the screen.

			=== Addon ===
			* [[Addon Settings]]

			=== Window ===
			* New Window - disabled and not used
			* [[Console]] - used primarily for debugging
