I'm trying to figure out how to install the "quick start sample project" for Ignition 8.1. But I cannot find any reference to it in either the gateway or in the designer launcher. Apparently it is supposed to be installed from the "Explore Ignition" pane in the gateway, but i cannot figure out where to enable this pane? Maybe because i have already created another project?
