+# Walkthrough
+
+All walkthroughs are written using the internal declarative API (see `org.jabref.gui.walkthrough.declarative`) and are
+defined in the `WalkthroughAction` class. Each walkthrough is a linear series of steps, where each step is either a UI
+highlight (`VisibleComponent`) or an invisible side effect (`WalkthroughSideEffect`). The walkthroughs are built using a
+builder API (`Walkthrough.Builder`). To launch a walkthrough, simply construct a new `WalkthroughAction` and pass the
+name of the desired walkthrough.
+
+The `WalkthroughOverlay` renderer takes the output of the declarative API (`Walkthrough`) and renders it for the user.
+At a high level, a walkthrough primarily highlights GUI elements (nodes in the scene graph).
+
+The following step types are supported:
+
+## Highlights
+
+1. `Ring`: Shows a small, accent-colored circle in the upper-right corner of the node to be highlighted.
+   ![A blue, semi-transparent circle highlighting the "Preferences" button](../images/ring.png)
+2. `Spotlight`: Highlights the node of interest by darkening the rest of the window.
+   ![The "File" menu item highlighted with a spotlight effect](../images/backdrop.png)
+3. `FullScreenDarken`: Darkens the entire window, typically to display a panel in the center.

+
+## Visual Steps
+
+1. `TooltipStep`: Shows a tooltip next to a specified node. This step must be associated with a node to display
+   correctly.

+2. `PanelStep`: Shows a panel with rich text and info boxes on the top, left, bottom, or right of the screen.

+
+## Side Effects
+
+1. `OpenLibrarySideEffect`: Opens a specified example library.
+2. `EnsureSearchSettingsSideEffect`: Forces a search preference into a desired state.
+
+All walkthroughs are currently launched from the `Walkthroughs` component, which is located exclusively on the
+`WelcomeTab`.

+
+# Quick Settings
+
+Quick Settings is a component of the `WelcomeTab` that allows users to easily modify the most common settings. To change
+the items displayed, see the `org.jabref.gui.welcome.components.QuickSettings` class.
