  6. Document Project Requirements: Use team notes to outline project requirements, specifications, and any relevant standards. Everyone involved can contribute their input and feedback.
  7. Establish Communication Channels: Use chat on each content to discuss project-related matters. Encourage team members to use these channels for project-related communication to keep discussions organized.
  8. Set Up Notifications and Reminders: Configure reminders to keep everyone informed of deadlines, updates, and important events related to the project. Your team will be notified on all reminders.
