Every chart becomes a project by walking through the wizard. Set up once, then stitch. The same steps are always there to revisit when something needs a tweak.

The wizard opens whenever you load or open a project. Next and Previous move between the steps, and the question mark shows help for the step you are on.

The Wizard at a Glance

Chart Setup
───
Stitching and Progress

One wizard, two very different halves. Chart setup is where you lay out pages, grids, symbols and colours, once per chart. While you stitch there is no setup at all: just marking off and tracking progress.

Changing Things Later

Press Previous
From the markup screen the Previous button walks back into setup. Colours, symbols, grids and pages are all there to revisit.
Symbols are locked while you stitch
That is deliberate, so a stray tap can never change your chart. Edit them back in Set Symbols. Full guide.
Pick up where you left off
Reopening a project returns you to the step you were on, straight back to the markup screen once setup is done.
