Beta 2.0.0.1011 - documentation

General
1

The help menu in the beta brings up the help for the release version of AppControl.

Any thoughts on linking to documentation for the beta?

Is there a downloadable version of the documentation for the beta?

How about documentation just for the differences between the release version and the beta?

It is not completed yet, because we may make changes to the software due to feedback.

Thanks.

It would really help to have something that explains the differences. As it is, I have 2 computers running the beta. I did this when checking out the link feature (again - way cool!)

I have a 3rd computer I can fire up and that’s good. When beta testing, I always want to have a computer running the release version. That lets me compare the user interfaces so I can see what is different. Without that, I am left to wonder, “Was that in the release version?”

A document with what’s new also will let me understand new features. For example, I noticed under “manage devices” two greyed out options:

  • Private: I am not sure what that is intended for
  • Cloud MCP: I am guessing this would let me ask Claude about issues with a remote computer that has been linked. I am a little afraid to do anything listed under “MCP Tokens” I don’t know if that is going to cost me something. I don’t know if in the code portions where it says , do I replace that with a token I get if I click on Create token? Do I need to leave in the angle brackets?

I realize it is very early in the beta, and maybe more is coming out along these lines. At least…hopefully… :slight_smile:

Of course, I don’t expect things to be set in stone for documentation about a beta.

Thanks!

Not sure how this got lost when creating my post above.

"I don’t know if in the code portions where it says:

claude mcp add --transport http appcontrol https://portal.appcontrol.com/mcp --header “Authorization: Bearer ”

Do I replace with a token I get if I click on Create token? Do I need to leave in the angle brackets?"

Argggg, now I see - the forum is stripping out the portion I am quoting that has angle brackets

Yes, we will have full documentation for launch. I agree 100% we should have had it in advance and we are working on it now.

For the Privacy/MCP issues, yes it is opened already to solve it and that portal isn’t even a final design at all. Definitely early beta for sure.

The Cloud MCP does let you talk to all your PCs simultaneously, you are correct. These tokens will be people who use Claude and things, we definitely have no plans to sell tokens.

Sorry, it will be very clean when it’s ready for launch and we are actively working on this stuff.
