Tips

  • Learn Go to… first — from there you can reach Search, Studies, History, and Settings without the mouse.
  • Close Viewer closes an Open Studies (patient) tab, not a watched room and not the whole Viewer app. On Mac, quit with ⌘ Q when you mean to exit completely.
  • There is no shortcut for Lock Lightbox. Use the control on the room card or viewer strip.
