## What is this feature?

**Lite mode / Pro mode** changes the operating depth of HaloX. Lite mode helps teams read current state and next actions quickly. Pro mode opens the sidebar workflow so teams can diagnose causes and move into execution screens.

*The Lite-active HaloX dashboard shows the first-read KPI layer with the AVI score, core KPI context, and the default menu without the previous awkward right-edge crop.*

Lite mode keeps the surface short for quick reading. When you need to investigate causes, click `Pro` in the same sidebar area to open the full menu structure.

> Screenshot rule: do not document only the top of the app. Lower cards, lower sidebar areas, and tab interiors often contain the feature detail, so scrolled screenshots should be used when they explain the product better.

## How to use Lite mode

<Steps>
  <Step title="1. Read the core dashboard scores together">
    Do not isolate one score. Read AI answer signals and the search foundation together.
  </Step>

  <Step title="2. Scroll to the lower cards for causes">
    Lower cards such as SEO score, citation rate, web health, and traffic summary often explain the next action.
  </Step>

  <Step title="3. Move into one next feature">
    Send each issue to the one feature that owns the next action.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## How to use Pro mode

In Pro mode, the sidebar is the feature map. Each menu is a step in the `analysis → strategy → execution → monitoring → misc` loop.

## FAQ

### Is Pro mode always better?

No. Lite is for faster decisions. Pro is for deeper root-cause work. Use Lite in meetings and Pro in execution reviews.

### Should docs include scrolled screenshots?

Yes. Many HaloX details live in lower cards, tab interiors, and detail panels. Scrolled screenshots are part of the product explanation when they clarify the workflow.
