Common Questions
How do I join a group?
You can search for groups by name or create your own group. Click on the Groups section in the add-in, then either search for existing groups or click Create Group to start a new one.
Can I send files and images in messages?
Yes! You can upload files, screenshots, and images directly in your messages. Click the attachment icon in the message composer to select files from your device.
How do I create an expert profile?
Go to your profile settings and select Create Expert Profile. Fill in your professional information, skills, experience, and portfolio links. This makes you searchable by other users looking for help.
What happens to my messages and files?
Messages and files are automatically deleted after 24 hours for privacy protection. Your account information, profile, and group memberships are retained. For more details, see our Privacy Policy.
I'm not receiving verification codes. What should I do?
Check your spam/junk folder first. Verification codes expire after 10 minutes. If you still don't receive the code, try requesting a new one or contact support at contact@dabops.com.
