Introduction

Depending on the study settings and on the role(s) you have within a study, you might have access to various user documentation. This lesson describes the scenario when, under the eLearning section, you get access to the Documentation & Training page, with mandatory and/or optional documentation section(s), as illustrated in the following image:
