Good to know

Section titled “Good to know”
  • A screen with no profile uses Global (displays without a profile); a saved one returns when the player moves to that screen, and one Kaveo cannot identify gets none.
  • Nothing is kept until Save — see Saving changes — which is also when the screen switches into or out of HDR.
