Touch Portal - Get Started - Page
A Page is a set of elements (Buttons and Sliders), displayed in a grid, that you will be able to interact with from your device
Touch Portal lets you create up to 2 Pages with the free version, but that limit gets blown out with the Pro upgrade, leaving you the ability to create as many as you want
By default, Touch Portal creates the (main)
Page that can't be deleted. It will be the one loaded
when you open Touch Portal on your device. If you want to go to another Page, you'll have to create
a Button that will navigate to it
