Quick start

Select automatic threats in Options / Threats. PILAR applies non-optional threats from TSV.

 

Not so quick start

Select MIX threats in Options / Threats By default, PILAR treats all assets as automatic and applies non-optional threats from TSV. You may remove / add threats as convenient. As a help, right click on an asset to check whether there are optional threats on that asset. Apply as convenient.
