Hello list, When giving instructions on how to do something, please do not just link to a picture. If you need to link to a picture, please also include text instructions on how to do the thing that you're linking to. Unfortunately, I'm not able to try enabling the trusted support, because I cannot read what's in that picture with my screen reader. I don't know if there are any other blind people on the list, but, to make the product equally accessible, there should be text instructions as well as a screenshot. Thank you, Jeremy
