When moving across to Alto from Vebra Live, it's important that you're familiar with the terminology and icons used, as actions you're used to doing to perform certain tasks, may not be the same.

The dashboard is where you will notice the most differences, visually at least, however there are some processes in Alto that go by different names or have a slightly different way of doing things.
The list/table below correlates the most common changes.
