<p class="MsoNormal">That very page has an expired link to a Google drive tutorial which sounds like just the thing I was talking about, so I’d say that it’s not up to date. I’d love to see best practices for [declare] blended into it. The helpfile for [declare]
is good, but how’s a newbie even supposed to know to use the [declare] object in the first place? I’m just asking for an overview, is all.<o:p></o:p></p>
