 Indeed, the last time we launched the app, the object did not contain any dimensionality reduction result.
 The `iSEE()` function automatically detected that, and dropped that type of panel from the application.
 
+To demonstrate the next functionality, let us interactively (within the app launched above) remove all the panels except for 'Reduced dimension plot 1' and 'Feature assay plot 1'.
+Then, use the download icon in the navigation bar at the top of the app to find and click the 'Display panel settings' button.

+The above R script creates an object called `initial` that contains all the information necessary for the `iSEE()` function to launch an app in a specific initial state.
+
+All we need to do is:
+
+* Run that R script, to create the `initial` object that represents the initial state of the app
+* Pass this `initial` object to the `initial=` argument of the `iSEE()` function, to launch a new app in the desired initial state
+
+```{r, message=FALSE, warning=FALSE, eval=interactive()}
+iSEE(sce, initial = initial)
