We need to write knowledge-base articles so that people who use Voluntarily can find help themselves before asking. There are three main categories that we are creating within:
About Voluntarily - why we do what we do - e.g. why are we collecting information about hobbies? why are we collecting someone’s pronouns?
Troubleshooting - How to do certain things on the platform - e.g. I forgot my password
How-To Articles - Curated best practice from around the globe on the topics that Voluntarily users are asking for help on.
