Understanding and Using the "Accepted Solution" Button

Overview:

The “Accepted Solution” button is a helpful feature that allows you to select the best answer to a question you’ve asked.

We encourage our members to use this feature, as it benefits those seeking assistance and those searching for previously provided solutions.

Note: you can mark solutions only for questions you initiated.
However, community staff members can also assist and mark accepted solutions.

Please remember to recognize helpful answers by marking them as solved. Your acknowledgment not only expresses appreciation but also aids others encountering similar questions. Your participation in this manner is highly valued and contributes significantly to the community.
