Check out the Good Client Guide

Last month we let you know that we have added our Client Guide articles to the client dashboard, along with some videos covering etiquette, consent, and using Tryst.link we produced with Georgie from Satisfaction Project. Well, we've made some tweaks to the code and now providers can see these videos as well!

Check them out by heading on over to the Client Guide and if you have any feedback or topics you think we should check out, please let us know!

Other changes
