 Using Monarch requires that screens are created in a certain way. Once you have one or more screens created you can start navigating between the screens.
 
+## Editor Script
+Right click in on a`.gui` file in the outline and selected the menu item, it creates a `.collection` and a `.gui_script` with the same name as the `.gui` file. It adds the file with some basic setup done to them, adding the selected gui script to the created gui scene and in turns adds the gui scene to the newly created collection.

+Sometimes it might be desirable to have a screen that contains one or more sub-screens or children, for instance popups that are used only by that screen. Monarch supports nested screens only when the parent screen is created via a collection factory. If the parent screen is loaded via a collection proxy the sub/child-screens won't be able to receive any input.
