Tips-n-Tricks Community-n-Coffee This session is meant to be a relatively informal session where community members can bring small items of interest that others may not know about — for example. using the “sign” feature of MacOS Preview to sign documents. Nothing staggering — just sharing items that you use but think others may not know about. Bring one or two of your favorite handy techniques to share! |
