Troubleshooting
It says the how-to was not found
“That how-to was not found. Here is the full list.” The link was old or the how-to is not for your role; search the list instead.
Tips
- Every page has a ? button next to its title that opens the how-to for that page.
- At the bottom, “Browse all features” opens the capability catalogue and “What's new” opens the changelog.
Good to know
- You see only the how-tos for screens your role can open.
- A how-to marked “Switched off until an operator turns it on” describes a feature that is built but not switched on yet.
- Chat apps and social networks (LINE, Slack, X, Facebook, iMessage…) make one preview per link, in the language of the link — not in each reader's own language. To send a preview in your reader's language, copy the link in their language.
