Overview booklet FAQ
What is this booklet?
An optional introduction to Gravity workspaces, books, employee publishing, saved work, and useful next steps.
Should I read it first?
Only if it would help. The booklet is not required. Read it in your own time for the broad picture, or go directly to the live page for the pressure point you already understand.
Does it replace the website?
No. The booklet explains the ecosystem. The live site remains the release point for current approved files, status, and release notes, and Start Here remains the implementation guide.
