+
+Depending on how the template was installed, or if any issues occurred, some of these may need to be run from the wizard to be completed.
+
+The remaining steps are optional customizations.
+
+## Scene Paths
+
+The flow of scenes in the template is (by default):  
+```
+Opening -> Main Menu -> Game Scene -> Ending Scene
+```

+
+1.  Open `app_config.tscn`.
+2.  Select the `AppConfig` node.
+3.  Update `Main Menu Scene Path` to the desired path (`main_menu_with_animations.tscn` by default).  
+4.  Update `Game Scene Path` to the path of the project's game scene (`game_ui.tscn` by default).  
+5.  Update the optional `Ending Scene Path` to the desired scene (`end_credits.tscn` by default).  
+6.  Save the scene.
+    
+To change the _Opening_:
+
+1.  Navigate to `Project > Project Settings…`
+2.  In the _Project Settings_ window, go to the `General` tab.
+3.  In the settings list, navigate to `Application > Run`.
+4.  Update `Main Scene` to the desired path.
