Move that ticket over, once approved, and we’re on to the next big win! (Product Owners will confirm the story, move to our clean release servers and we’ll prepare to release on production deployment days).We're here to help our users as well, so that means sometimes taking a look at customer tickets coming in on priority from the Support team and getting those bug fixes moving quickly.
