+    The \uicontrol {Application Output} pane displays the status of the
+    application while it is running. You can select the \uicontrol Run button
+    in the pane to re-run applications without building them first. This is
+    useful when developing Qt Quick applications, because the QML files are
+    interpreted at runtime. Therefore, the application does not need to be
+    built again if you edited only QML files. This saves time especially if
+    the application contains large image files that would need to be bundled
+    into the resource file before running the application.
