We're always working on adding new functionality to Ninite, so if you want to do something that seems impossible with the current features let us know. We may be building out some undocumented features that you could help us test.
These features are only available in Ninite Pro Classic.
We're working on documentation for the new Pro web interface. For now the available help for that is inline in the interface.
