Lightform Labs is an extension of Lightform Creator that includes beta and experimental features.
We do not recommend using Labs for installations or productions where dependability is required. These features are experimental and unsupported, but we welcome bug reports and feedback to continue improving Lightform Creator.
How to enable/disable Labs
To enable Labs, click Help > Enable Labs in the menu bar. When Labs is enabled you will see the Labs icon in the top-right corner of Creator.
To disable Labs, click Help > Disable Labs. All the Labs features will be hidden.
