|---|---|

Installation
How Store installation works.
- Open the Store listing
Use the verified Developer Briefcase listing after it becomes available.
- Select Install
Microsoft Store downloads, verifies, and installs the production package.
- Set up your workspace
Launch from Start, review Settings, then create or import only the records you intend to keep locally.
No raw production package is offered here yet
The public build is intended for Microsoft Store so Windows can verify publisher identity and manage updates. Test installers are not the final publishing channel.
