Drop-in Office Hours
The Platform R support team holds weekly virtual office hours by Zoom. Come with specific questions or examples of workflows that are not working as you expect.
If your question or problem is too complex to address in the drop-in session, we will ask you to create a ticket in the Platform R Navigator Portal describing your problem.

- Wednesday, January 7th, 10-11am
