-Terminal User Interface
------------------------
-
-The ``cylc tui`` command (Tui) replaces the old ``cylc monitor``. It provides a
-tree view that is very similar to the Cylc UI and supports some control
-functionality.
-
-Performance
-   TUI currently refreshes its display every second. Large workflows which
-   change rapidly may evolve faster than TUI is able to keep pace with which
-   will cause TUI to freeze.
-
-   A more performant implementation which does not rely on a scheduled global
-   update will follow in due course.

-GScan
-   The old ``cylc gscan`` GUI has been removed. You can now find the gscan
-   display on the left-hand side of the Cylc UI.
-
-   In a future release ``cylc tui`` will be able to list workflows in a similar
-   way.

 --------
 
-Cylc TUI is a text based UI, available on the command line with
-``cylc tui <workflow_id>``.
+Cylc Tui (TUI = Terminal User Interface) is a command line version of the GUI
+which comes packaged with the Cylc scheduler.
 
-It remains in development, with smooth running with large workflows soon to be
-resolved.
+It can be used to monitor and control any workflows running under your user
+account, trigger tasks, access log files and perform other common activities.

 Cylc Web GUI
 ------------
 
-Cylc 8 web GUI is available, both as a single user application, ``cylc gui``
-and as a multi user hub, ``cylc hub``. Both are dependent on `Cylc UI Server`_ installation.
+The Cylc GUI application is a monitoring and control application which runs in
+a web browser, it is distributed in the `Cylc UI Server`_ package which comes
+separately from the core scheduler.
+
+Start the GUI server and open the web app in your browser by running
+``cylc gui``.

+system to determine what to display. For more information, see :ref:`n-window`.
 
-Going via the hub unlocks the ability to grant other users the permission
-to view and interact with workflows running under your account.
-Site administrators will need to configure this, for more information

+where it is possible to grant users the permission to view and interact with
+workflows running under other user accounts. In these deployments, users will
+have to authenticate when they open the GUI in the browser.
