Awesome I can’t wait to get home from work and try. now is there any other documentation that I should be aware of? I watched all the videos and searched The Forum without picking this up

We have new documentation being written that does a better job of walking through this: https://lightburnsoftware.github.io/NewDocs/

Thanks I Appreciate it!
