UI overview: what each page does

The left sidebar of Clash for Windows is the entry point to everything. Once you know what each page is responsible for, you will rarely get lost.

• General: the home of global switches — system proxy, TUN mode, start with Windows, Allow LAN, outbound mode and port settings all live here. This is the page you will use most.
• Proxies: shows every proxy group and node in the active profile; pick nodes and run latency tests here.
• Profiles: manages subscriptions and local config files — download, update, switch and edit.
• Connections: lists every connection passing through Clash in real time, with destination, matched rule and node — the first place to look when debugging routing.
• Logs: the core's runtime log; failed connections and config errors usually explain themselves here.

Recent versions also ship a Benchmark page (bulk speed tests). Click through every page once to get familiar — the rest of this guide covers them one by one.
