🌟 Community Etiquette 

Our goal is to keep this community welcoming, helpful, and fun for everyone. A few simple guidelines: 

• Be kind & respectful 🤝 – Treat others the way you’d like to be treated. 

• Share generously 💡 – Post your knowledge, experiences, and best practices so others can learn from you. 

• Stay professional 🧑‍💼 – Keep conversations constructive, even when you disagree. 

• Give kudos 🎉 – Use likes and replies to celebrate others’ contributions. 

• Protect privacy 🔒 – Don’t share sensitive personal or company information. 

1. Complete Your Profile Information 

Everybody likes to know who they’re speaking with! By adding more details to your profile, you’re more likely to receive quicker and more helpful replies. 

Go to your Profile and:

• Write a short bio/signature (a sentence that will appear under all your posts) 

• Add your company

• Fill in any other fields you’d like to share 

👉 A complete profile makes it easier for others to connect with you.
