Hi - we don’t have one with the new version, but we have one for the old version (sent to you in email).

Please note that some of the features work differently, and the UI changed, but the video should give you a pretty good idea on how to approach the problem.

We are in the midst of creating a new educational suite. Gear is now on our list 🙂

Hi Alejandro - not yet, but as this has come up a couple of times lately, I’ll put it on our content list, and will make one in the near future.
