Take the tutorial again — step by step: the first act from start to PDF, then where things are in the app. You press the highlighted control yourself; the rest of the screen is dimmed.

On the computer: request notifications

The Windows version has three more settings:

  • Request notifications — arrive while the app is running: it checks for new requests every few minutes by itself;
  • Minimise to tray on close — the cross hides the window next to the clock and checking continues; to quit, use the tray icon;
  • Start with Windows — straight into the tray, without a window.

Signing out

  • Sign out — on this device. Data on the device stays; you will need to sign in again to sync.
  • Sign out everywhere — every phone and computer on this account will ask to sign in again. Documents are not going anywhere. Useful if you lost a phone.

Report a problem

Settings → Support → Report a problem. Describe what happened or what to improve, and leave Attach technical details ticked — version, device and the latest app errors, without customer data. The message goes to info@defact.pro by email or through a messenger.
