The training
Each tool takes about thirty minutes to set up properly. Setting one up properly beats having four set up badly.
How this page stays current
On the first of every month the four platforms' official release notes are re-read and this page is rebuilt. Each pass looks for four things, in this order:
- A feature these guides teach being replaced or retired — the change most likely to make a step wrong.
- Price and plan-name changes.
- Announced shutdown dates and deadlines.
- New abilities that save a small operator real time.
