How To Create Custom Mode?

Is there no way to create a custom mode?

I just got my indoor essential cameras, installed the app, and set them up. I downloaded the manual but it seems to be out dated? I'm not sure if I'm missing something but I can't seem to create a new custom mode with a custom name, such as "Vacation" mode mentioned in the manual. This is one of the reasons I purchased this camera, so I'm hoping there's a way.

Arlo is introducing a new user interface - the older one has a "Library" choice on the main app screen, the newer one says "Dashboard" and "Feed".

Unfortunately they removed custom modes from "Feed". You can edit the three built-in modes (Armed Home, Armed Away, and Standby), so one option is to use "Armed Away" as "Vacation"

OOPS! Modes are in Routines.
