Windows can be attached to the sides of the viewport to become panels.
Toolbars can be hidden or unhidden by right clicking in an empty space in the toolbar area.

Console: change colour according to preferences
Enable Source Control: turn off unless connected to a source control network
Range: click once to select object, double-click to select object behind
Enable Backup: automatic backup in time increments that can be customised
4. Tools > Preferences > Viewport > General
Highlight Geometry on Mouse Hover: used to visualise the size and angles of the object
Highlight Selected Geometry: selected object becomes an alternate colour
Scale of Helpers: change size of helpers that appear around objects
5. Configure User Commands
Tools > Configure User Commands: can create shortcut button for preferred user commands
Macros: create new and name it
Commands: create new and from the Console Command dropdown box select the function
