Getting Started Walkthrough

When you install ABAP FS, VS Code automatically opens an interactive walkthrough. It guides you through the extension's features in a structured, step-by-step format.

Walkthrough Stages

The walkthrough covers four progressive stages:

1. Getting Connected — Activate the extension, connect to an SAP system, navigate objects, search, run transactions, and launch SAP GUI.

2. Core Features — ABAP Cleaner, ATC code analysis, blame annotations, debugging, dump analysis, performance traces, transport management, unit tests.

3. AI & Copilot — AI-powered search, data queries, diagrams, where-used analysis, version history comparisons, AI-assisted unit tests, and skills.

4. Advanced — Communication log, cross-system comparison, debug recording & replay, dependency graphs, feed inbox, heartbeat monitoring, MCP setup, subagents, text elements.

Re-opening the Walkthrough

The walkthrough shows automatically only once. To open it again:

1. Press Ctrl+Shift+P (Windows/Linux) or Cmd+Shift+P (Mac) to open the Command Palette — a search bar for all VS Code commands.
2. Type ABAP FS:Show Walkthrough and press Enter.
3. Search for ABAP and select the walkthrough you want.

Alternatively, open Help → Welcome from the menu bar, then select the ABAP FS walkthrough from the list.
