Her reply:
Sure, your question is definitely one that has come up several times since the release of the new guide. We have compiled a list of Q&As that will address your question and others you may have. I’ve attached them for you.
Also, recently we recorded a Cub Cast promoting RT and also addressing the changes for the upcoming year. It is set to be released on September 1st.
