Start recording an activity

I just got a Montana 700i and while I have used Garmin devices for years, I am still confused at times. Where do I start an activity, let’s say a hike? I don’t want to share it via inReach. I just want it to show up in my activity list in the Connect app.   I can see several hacks like going to “recorded activities” and starting from there but there is surely a simple icon to get started?

    Home (main menu) > Recording Controls. Activities Setup is available from the hamburger menu. That's where you set things like the activity type and type, recording method and interval. and so forth.

    You will first want to visit Home > Setup > Tracking. Be sure that Link with Recording is off. (In theory, if this is on, activity recording and inReach tracking start and stop together - no matter which "side" you control it from. Personally, I turn this off. And I STILL verify that I got what I wanted (on both sides) each time I change either side.
