Ravindra Bagale's Tip
Friends, many students use one button per page and forget to update the navigation when pages are added. Consider the Page navigator or Bookmark navigator, which update automatically, and remember that buttons need Ctrl+click in Desktop but a normal click in the Service. Try it once more, then move on.
Ravindra Bagale's Tip – मराठी
मित्रांनो, बरेच students प्रत्येक page साठी एक button वापरतात आणि pages जोडल्यावर navigation update करायला विसरतात. आपोआप update होणारे Page navigator किंवा Bookmark navigator वापरून बघा, आणि लक्षात ठेवा की Desktop मध्ये buttons ना Ctrl+click लागतं पण Service मध्ये साधा click. पुन्हा एकदा करून बघा, मग पुढे जा.

दोस्तों, बहुत से students हर page के लिए एक button इस्तेमाल करते हैं और pages जोड़ने पर navigation update करना भूल जाते हैं. अपने आप update होने वाले Page navigator या Bookmark navigator पर विचार करो, और याद रखो कि Desktop में buttons को Ctrl+click चाहिए पर Service में सामान्य click. एक बार फिर करके देखो, फिर आगे बढ़ो.
