+## QA Checklist
+
+1. Ensure you have a fresh install by backing up and then deleting the following:
+
+    ### Windows
+      * Settings directory: TBD
+      * Models directory: TBD
+    ### Mac
+      * Settings directory: TBD
+      * Models directory: TBD
+    ### Linux
+      * Settings directory: TBD
+      * Models directory: TBD
+  
+    ^ Note: If you've changed your models directory manually via the settings you need to backup and delete that one
+
+2. Go through every view and ensure that things display correctly and familiarize yourself with the application flow
+
+3. Navigate to the models view and download Llama 3 Instruct
+
+4. Navigate to the models view and search for "TheBloke mistral 7b" and download "TheBloke/Mistral-7B-Instruct-v0.1-GGUF"
+
+5. Navigate to the chat view and open new chats and load these models
+
+6. Chat with the models and exercise them. Rename the chats. Delete chats. Open new chats. Switch models when in chats.
+
+7. Create a new localdocs collection from a directory of .txt or .pdf files on your hard drive
+
+8. Enable the new collection in chats (especially with Llama 3 Instruct) and exercise the localdocs feature
+
+9. Go to the settings view and explore each setting
+
+10. Remove collections in localdocs and re-add them. Rebuild collections.
+
+11. Try to break the app
+
+EXTRA CREDIT:
+
+1. If you have a openai api key install GPT-4 model and chat with it
+
+2. If you have a nomic api key install the remote nomic embedding model for localdocs (see if you can discover how to do this)
+
+3. If you have a python script that targets openai API then enable server mode and try this
+
+4. Really try and break the app
+
+All feedback is welcome
