These topics provide a framework for newbies to understand how our supported set of platforms, services, clients, and Marketplace extensions fit together to support software development teams.<\/p>\n<p>You can view these topics here:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.visualstudio.com\/en-us\/docs\/concepts\">Key concepts<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.visualstudio.com\/en-us\/docs\/services\">Essential services<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.visualstudio.com\/en-us\/docs\/tools\">Tools and clients<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.visualstudio.com\/en-us\/docs\/roles\">Software development roles<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Collaborate content<\/h3>\n<p>We&#8217;ve recently introduced a new area to highlight content that spans features and scenarios that support team collaboration. This content supports\u00a0team collaboration across the traditional hubs of Code, Work, Build &amp; Release, and Test.\u00a0Which is why we&#8217;ve\u00a0named this area <strong>Collaborate<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Under the Collaborate section, you&#8217;ll find content that supports sharing information, getting notification, and supporting team chat. Here&#8217;s a few of the new topics in this area:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.visualstudio.com\/en-us\/docs\/connect\/account-home-pages\">Work effectively from your account hub<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.visualstudio.com\/en-us\/docs\/collaborate\/project-vision-status\">Share your project vision, view project activity<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.visualstudio.com\/en-us\/docs\/collaborate\/manage-personal-notifications\">Manage personal notifications<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.visualstudio.com\/en-us\/docs\/collaborate\/manage-team-notifications\">Manage team notifications<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Content updates<\/h3>\n<p>We also want to take this opportunity to point out the Content updates topic that we update with the release of new features every three weeks. This topic provides an index to release notes, blog posts, and content related to DevOps working with Team Services and TFS.<\/p>\n<p>We started back in March 2016 and are now working are way through 2017.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.visualstudio.com\/en-us\/docs\/content-updates\/updates-2017\">Content updates (2017)\u00a0<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>We work to highlight topics that are brand new&#8211;usually covering new features or scenarios and significantly updated topics.<\/p>\n<h3>We appreciate your feedback and ratings<\/h3>\n<p>Your feedback and insights can help us better focus on where we should focus to address missing scenarios or to simply correct a typo or error.<\/p>\n<p>As you review a topic, please rate it and leave a note of what works well or what&#8217;s missing.<\/p>\n<p>We thank you,<\/p>\n<p>Kathryn<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We\u2019re always working to keep our content as fresh and accurate as possible.
