| Once your WLED device is on your network, open its IP address (or mDNS name, like `http://wled-1234.local`) in a browser and you'll land in the web UI. This page is a quick tour of everything you see there. Screenshots are from WLED 16.0, older versions look a little different but the layout is the same. |

thanks, this is very useful. I only very briefly looked at it. the docs should represent the current state and exclude old things or list them as such. The example I stumbled on was in the led config page where things are listed that are no longer present. |

Describe the configured Sync behavior.
Line 34 says the button toggles syncing color and effects. docs/features/settings.md Line 116 says the button can toggle only sending while receiving remains configured. Update this text so it does not imply that both directions always toggle.

Adds a "The Web UI" page under Basics with a screenshot walkthrough of the main interface: phone and PC mode layouts, top bar, and the Colors/Effects/Segments/Presets tabs, cross-linked to the existing feature pages. The Quick Start guide links to it as a next step, and each section of the Settings page gets a screenshot.
