About FileMaker documentation
This Installation and New Features Guide tells you how to install

Advanced features.
The FileMaker Pro User’s Guide provides essential information to get
you working productively right away. Explore the interactive
FileMaker

The FileMaker Pro Advanced Features Guide describes additional
features available in FileMaker
Pro Advanced, including features such as
customizing menus; copying and importing tables; Database Design
Reports; and field, variable, and expression monitoring using the Data
Viewer.

you see instructions and illustrations that are also specific to that
platform. For features or procedures that are similar on both platforms,
you may see illustrations for either Windows or OS
X.
