Rig Manager mainly consists of ''three vertical panes''. The left-most one contains a ''tree-view'' of KPA rig sources. These can be Rig Manager's local library folders, the Rig Exchange, your KPA itself, or KPA backup files. Clicking on any of these items will show a grid of rigs in the middle pane.
The middle pane's grid shows several columns of pertinent information for each rig, such as the rig name its modification date as well as several of the rig's tags like Amp and Cabinet. The Which columns are displayed columns can be edited changed by right-clicking on the header row, and the rigs can be sorted by clicking on any column header. Typing into the search box in the upper right corner will filter the list of rigs to display only rigs that contain that text in one of their tags. It cannot be narrowed to any single column, so be careful about false positives. For example, typing "Mesa" will not only return rigs based on Mesa/Boogie amps, but also those that used a Mesa/Boogie cabinet or boost pedal. Also, tags are free-form text with no guarantee that the rig's author correctly populated them - one author may use "MB" while another uses "Boogie" and searching "Mesa" will not grab either author's rigs.
The right pane shows all the tags of the selected rigs and allows you to edit (most of) them. Be careful when editing - normal tab and arrow keys can behave somewhat different than you may be used to.
=== Loading Rigs ===
'''Rig Manager can not only copy rigs to and from your KPA, but load rigs as a "preview".''' You simply highlight the rig in the middle pane and press space-bar or double-click it. Once you've loaded a preview rig, you can use your computer's left/right arrows to load the previous/next rig in the middle pane.
