As you continue your transformation into a QC master, we’ve complied an assortment of resources to help you through the journey. Although they will prove helpful in establishing some fundamentals, try not to take everything literally. These are basic reference guides. It’s not meant to be a checklist of what to approve and reject.
The wiki will be continually updated as we discover more helpful links. If you’re still uncertain and confused after reading through them, you can always consult the sub. Additionally, if you have a guide you like to use that isn’t found here, feel free to message the mod team. We’ll be happy to add it.
