+      Certain options that may cause a lot of unnecessary confusion to casual
+      Haketilo users have been hidden by default. They can be accessed after
+      enabling advanced UI features on the
+      {{ hkt_link('settings page', 'home.home') }}.

+
+    {% call paragraph() %}
+      Haketilo has a concept of 2 types of entities -
+      <span class="bold">packages</span> and
+      <span class="bold">libraries</span>.
+      As explained on the {{ doc_page_link('packages', 'packages') }} page, it's
+      ultimately a package that provides concrete functionality and a casual
+      user does not need to be aware of the existence of libraries.
+      Consequently, with advanced features off the UI does not contain any
+      notion of libraries and even the
+      {{ hkt_link('libraries listing page', 'items.libraries') }} link is
+      removed from the navigation bar.

+    {{ medium_heading('Selective installation/uninstallation of packages') }}
+
+    {% call paragraph() %}
+      A packages is automatically installed together with all its dependencies
+      when the user enables it.
+      Additionally, whenever some installed Haketilo packages or libraries are
+      found not to be needed anymore, they can be pruned from the
+      {{ hkt_link('settings page', 'home.home') }}.
+      This functionality was deemed sufficient for most users' needs.
+      With advanced features enabled the UI also allows any single package or
+      library not in use to be uninstalled manually and any package or library
+      available from a repository to be installed without prior enabling.
