Which part of the course did you find particularly valuable How to work out what is good and what does not need to be put into the final draft

L.T. Direct Rail Services, Minute Taking Janet Hope Jilly Lloyd

Which part of the course did you find particularly valuable I found the information on bookmarks and page navigation to be particularly helpful. I had previously used Power BI however as I was self taught I had never explored this before. I also found the terminology to be very useful, for example 39Content Pack39 it is important to work to the true standards after all.
