#msdyn365bc - Teaching Tip.

Hi Readers,

This Week We will spend some time with what's new in #Msdyn365bc 2021 Release Wave 1. 

In this article we will understand about New Feature Teaching Tip.

You would have visited websites / apps which walk you through apps to Teach you how to use app/website. Even at later stage you can use the Teaching Mode to get trained again if you didn't did those steps in initial stage.

On Similar lines Microsoft have added Teaching Tip in #msdyn365c. The great part is that its completely extensible. 

I am sure we will be able to utilize it for helping new users joined with our customers to make life easier with Business Central.

What Available out of the box?

• Open Business Central and from my settings you can enable / disable Teaching Tips.
• Visit a Page where Tours are defined like - Posted Sales Invoices, Permission sets, users and others.
