Anime Studio Debut Trial - where is the add bones tool???

Hey everyone - I'm new to the programme, I downloaded it yesterday and set about playing around in it. However, I cannot seem to add bones to any shape I create myself. I can use the character library or character wizard to load stock characters that are already bone rigged, but no "add bone" tool appears for me when I try to build my own character from scratch. I've followed the tutorial videos exactly, made sure that the vector layer is made part of the bone layer, made sure I have the bone layer selected etc, but no add bone tools are forthcoming! Even when I load up a rigged character, I can only manipulate their bones - the bone tools just don't seem to be available to me...

I only have the trial version of Anime Studio Debut 8 - I wondered if anyone knew if adding bones etc was not available in the trial version?


Thanks!

Ah! It's because I have to turn Beginner's mode off for these tools to become available... (obviously :/ )
