The SIL Manager interface

The SIL Manager serves as the central development environment where you'll spend most of your time writing and refining scripts.

To access the SIL Manager, navigate to Administration > Apps > Manage apps > Power Scripts > SIL Manager.
Upon opening the SIL Manager, the script editor loads by default, providing immediate access to your development workspace.

The opening screen of the SIL Manager interface

To start using the SIL manager, create a new file or open an existing script from the file tree.
You can use the Quick Start button to help you create your first script.

Once you open or create a file, the interface transforms into a full-featured editor where you can write and refine your scripts.
