If you move the mouse over the very first row-Level Styles-you’ll notice that a little icon pops up along the left edge.

This is perfect, and will be the basis of this tutorial, so go ahead and choose the Modern with Level Styles template and then click New Outline. You can quickly distinguish which level you’re on based on the text styles: Level 1 rows have larger text, and the styles get progressively smaller and less stylish as you go into the Level 2, 3, and 4 rows.

The Resource Browser makes it easy for you to locate and open files you’ve recently worked on (in the Recents section), or to create new documents using one of the existing Templates. If for some reason you don’t see the Resource Browser, go ahead and choose File ▸ Resource Browser ( Shift-Command-N). This handy window gives you access to the existing templates we’ve included with OmniOutliner, as well as any files you’ve recently worked on. When you open OmniOutliner, one of the first things you’ll see is the Resource Browser.
