You’ll see the

page where you’ll update all the tasks that need to be done throughout onboarding. You’ll also want to edit the
Full Schedule

with all the details of their onboarding.
These tables then filter onto each corresponding page.
Throughout this doc you will see blocks that look like this 🔽
These will show some helpful tips on how to personalize your onboarding doc. You can delete these blocks once you don't need the information anymore. Simply highlight all the text that lives within the block to delete it.
