Documentation conventions
The following documentation conventions are used in this guide:
Describing interactions with the UI
You can interact with products by using different input methods: keyboard, mouse, touch, and
more. So in most parts of the user documentation, generic verbs have been used that work with
any input method. In cases where input-neutral verbs do not work, mouse-specific verbs are used
as the first choice, followed by touch-specific verbs as the second choice.
See the following table for examples on how you can interpret the different input methods.
