Features

These pages document what Kino actually does once it’s installed and configured. They’re organised by feature, not by settings tab — pick whichever one matches what you’re trying to do.

PageWhat it covers

If you’re still installing, start with the Quickstart for your platform. If you’re stuck on a specific behaviour, the Troubleshooting FAQ is shorter and more direct than these pages.
