I'm new to this site and new to visual novel making in general. I have a few questions and I apologize if the proper place but I just need help. 

What are buttons, what are bars?? 
When you add text where does the text go?? Like how do you organize it? How do you set up text boxes? Are text boxes a thing? When you set up the scenes, like how they link together, when do you also set up what happens in that scene?? 

I have a lot of questions about what things are and how things work and how you can see what you're doing? Please help!
Buttons are well buttons that you push that do things when you asign them actions like the real world.
(ex. Putting a play button on a main menu and assigning a specific action will take you to the game.)

A bar is a GUI that can pretty much function for anything you want it to. Either if it's to turn the volume down or maybe to use as a health tracker if you have some sort of fighting game.

I'm guessing you're talking about the text in the library. If you push the add assets button in a scene, you drag the text to the screen and there will be an option once you push the blue animations button which is one of three located on the page you want it to be in. Then if you click on it in the animation screen, you can choose to show the text and adjust where it is located on the screen;  If you're talking about the text in the textbox, you type it in the pages by pushing the orange edit button that was by the blue animations earlier and it'll show up by default in your textbox. Although if you move your texbox, you probably will have to move it which is located in the manage interfaces button (marked down as message).

You can set up your textbox in manage interfaces but if you want to change the way it looks, you go to the library and put in the image address of what you want to replace the design with. You can get free textboxes and Gui in the resources page. https://cloudnovel.net/browse/free/character/popular

Don't really know what you mean by the last question? Once you link them together with a branch which is located in where you select a scene once you click on one, you just make a scene like you would normally do. You decide when you want to end your scene or to choose which scene to go to once that one ends (which you can do by pushing the edit button again on a page and choosing which scene to go to.)
