- 3Read the numbered steps from the help guides
- 4Tap "Show me" — the portal opens the right page and rings where to tap
- 5Tap "Watch it" to play the short video, where there is one
- 6If it can't answer, tap "Send this to my school" — the question goes to the school office, who reply in Messages

Part of Getting help
