[xwiki-devs] Queries regarding the project

[sidhanshu binani]

Hi there,

I am new to this platform and it would be very kind of you if you provide
me with some insights into this project(TOUR-63) as to how should I proceed
to fix this error.

https://jira.xwiki.org/browse/TOUR-63

This is the link to the particular issue I am talking about which is about
the tour application(TOUR-63) which states about the issue “Tour button
ends up under the footer on big screens”.

Will be very kind of you if you can assist me with details as to how to
proceed with this project.



Regards,

Sidhanshu Binani.
