Atelier is the colouring surface. The guide card on that surface is titled ATELIER GUIDE, and DONE closes it. Command L returns to the darkroom.

Media
The brush presets that ship with Atelier are named Atelier Gold Foil, Atelier Gouache, Atelier Pastel Crayon, and Atelier Gel Pen. On iPad the same guide speaks Pencil and finger: a Pencil fills and draws, a finger pans once a Pencil has drawn, a squeeze opens the media wheel, two fingers tap to undo, and three fingers tap to redo.
Save the Page
Saving the page uses the prompt Save the page as it looks now. Saving a timelapse uses Save a short film of the page being coloured. If the page has no marks yet, Atelier says: Colour something first. The timelapse replays your marks.
