# Can I use Storage Studio without the Tuhi Home screen?

Yes. Storage Studio has two views. The **Intelligence** view is the calm window with the Home screen and Tuhi; the **Advanced** view is the menu-bar popover and the specialist windows, for full control.

Switch in **Settings → Interface** under **How Storage Studio opens**. The change takes effect the next time you click the Storage Studio menu-bar icon, and you can switch back any time. Every feature is available either way.
