How to ask a question

[AlanSpatial]

When creating a discussion asking for help it is critical that you provide enough information in your initial post for somebody to be able to help you properly. The following are some guidelines you should be thinking about when creating a new discussion.

Use a Descriptive Title

The title of your post should accurately and specifically describe your problem or question. If you are having issues with a feature, that specific feature should likely make it into the title.

Bad Title ❌

Good Title ✅

Explain Your Goal

Its often easier to address somebodies question when you understand their desired result. Often when you need help you might not even know the correct question to ask. Explaining your end goal helps others fill in the blanks and solve the root issue.

Show Your Code

If you are having a problem with code you are writing make sure to share it!

Code can be pasted inside github nicely by wrapping it in tripple `s (```)

List the Solutions You've Tried

Explain what sort of work you have already done to try and resolve the issue. Don't forget to check the Creator Toolkit documentation first.

Search Before Asking

The fastest way to get a question answered is to look to see if somebody asked it before you. Google is your friend, and since Spatial uses Unity and C# there is already a wealth of knowledge available for less Spatial-specific questions.

it has been a game changer for me to learn how to formulate adequate questions for IT support on so many platforms.
(and I'm not even good at it yet).
