One thing to consider is whether we direct users to the performance dashboard and then all features are highlighted there. We have a new front screen to this page now that makes it clear what you can and can't do based on current project settings

VSCode
AS-IS / PROBLEM In the bottom left Codewind view, right-clicking each project opens up a menu that includes features such as Metrics Dashboard and Logs. See screenshot below:
The menu is hidden by design, which makes it harder for first-time users to discover the features Codewind has to offer. During a VSCode v0.9.0 usability review, participants were unable to discover these features right away. They had problems accessing project logs.
-- PROPOSED SOLUTION
From the same usability review, we saw that participants heavily relied on the Project Overview page as a one-stop shop. Therefore if we duplicate some of those feature links as buttons or URLs into this Project Overview page, it will help new users find and utilize these features. One example idea would be to have a button that says "Show Logs" in the Project Overview page.
