Escape, or the button again, takes you back to the water.

 ## The apps
 
 The apps sit in four groups. Someone visiting another aquarium, or looking at the showcase, sees only the ones that make sense there.

+Every way to sign in or save opens the same sign-in panel, wherever you start it: the game, the account panel, the front page or the desktop app. The best way in for your device comes first as one big button (Apple on iPhone, iPad and Mac, Google elsewhere), with the others in a small row under it and a phone number as a link.

The More button beside them holds Whisper for mutual friends, the aquarium link and Unfollow, which asks first. Add a friend finds a keeper as you type their name, and your own aquarium link is there to copy and send.
 
+Wherever a keeper shows up (a Friends row, a name in chat, a fish in Open Water, a school member, a stall) the same set of actions comes with them: Invite out, Whisper, Visit, Gift, Invite to school, Follow and Stall, whichever fit right then.
+
+## Choosing a keeper
+
+Wherever you pick another keeper (inviting to your school, sending a gift, whispering, visiting from Friends, the Coral Neighbourhood or Outings, or opening someone's stall) the same keeper chooser opens. Friends come first, mutual ones on top, then your school, who's online now (whoever swims in the same Open Water place as you leads), and the keepers you whispered, visited, gifted, traded with or invited lately. Each row shows their fish, school tag, level and where they are, with the action on the row. Type to search anyone by name; the arrow keys and Enter work too. Blocked keepers never appear, and a row says up front when something can't be done, such as a keeper already in a school.
+
+The chooser completes names as you type: matching letters are marked, Tab fills in the highlighted keeper and Enter acts. Point at a row, or tap it on a phone, to see that keeper's card first: their fish, level, where they are now, their aquarium and how you know each other, with everything you can do with them. The search in Friends works the same way.
+
+## Invite someone out
+
+Invite out calls another keeper to where you are right now: the Open Water place you swim in, your own aquarium, or the aquarium you are visiting. Find it at the top of Friends and Outings, in the corner list of every Open Water place, and on any keeper's card. A keeper playing now gets a card with Join and Not now; one who is away finds it in their notifications. An invitation stands for five minutes.
+
+Join takes you straight there: into the same Open Water room as them, or into their aquarium as a fish of your own. Friends and your school can always invite you; anyone else can only when you let any keeper whisper to you. Blocked keepers can never invite you. You hear the answer to yours: on their way, not now, or no answer in time.

 ## The Coral Neighbourhood
 
 On the ocean map, the Coral Neighbourhood shows keepers' aquariums as homes on its plots: yours, your friends' and the most starred. Pick a home to visit it. Guests still on the name the game gave them and keepers who haven't been around for a month are listed under the reef as Other keepers, one press from a visit.
