gtn infrastructure contributors instructors new feature

Snippets have received an major overhaul! Snippets/FAQs are small reusable bits of training, often answering a single question. In addition to the general Galaxy snippets, we now also support topic-level and tutorial-level FAQs. This will allow contributors to add common questions and answers to their tutorials, which not only can be included in the tutorial text itself, but are also used to autogenerate an FAQ page for the tutorial or topic listing all common questions (and answers).This will be useful both to participants following tutorials via self-study, and also to instructors preparing for a training event.

Did you teach a training and get some good questions you think might be helpful for learners or other instructors? Add your FAQ to the GTN! To learn more about using these snippets/FAQs in your tutorials or how to add your own, please view the contributors training below.

Check out the FAQ overview page now.
