Inkscape setup (from download through customization)

Inkscape setup can be somewhat confusing. In this tutorial I'll show you how to download and setup Inkscape. Inkscape is a free software and has a ton of different design tools. I use Inkscape to create all my SVG files and a lot of my other digital designs. Correct Inkscape setup is super important and totally easy to do.

I have the same issue as well I do not have the top bar, as an example I do not have the settings button (Mentioned in 3:55) along with all those buttons across that layout

edit: Sorry to all the viewers reading my comment, this (new inkscape) done a software update the youtuber most likely does not have the new inkscape, this feature I mentioned is now (newly implemented) is now on the right hand side of your column, in this video she does not have that but to us new viewers and new download they moved this column on now the right side along with your scroller (this is the case with me not saying it could be for everyone my download could very well be subjective and those not having it may need to download it to their appropriate windows/imac etc) to verify check if the symbols I mentioned align with this youtubers layout

When you disable wide screen view the screen will look like her screen. Click on "view" and scroll down to uncheck "wide screen". Hope this helps.

Hello Crystal, great step by step tutorial, however under Custom Setup under on the right side under Open source vector editor it states it has "0 of 4 subfeatures selected, yours states 4 of 4. How can I fix this? Thank you

Just installed Inkscape for the first time, but there was no "welcome" window and I don´t have access to the main interface/actual programme either. It automatically opens the file selection, but I don´t see the option to create a new file. What am I supposed to do?
