Hey team - let's plan to keep all questions in the Q&A section "open" and not type the answer out in the Q&A section. It looks like zoom automatically puts it in the "answered" section when the answer is typed out. Also, do not physically move any questions to the answered section. Thanks all!

Slides will be sent after this session with all resources/links!
