Hi everyone- this is emily and I'm doing a quick screen recording on how to review uh an mr around the free user cap work um so I'll be doing this review in git pod, using some of the steps I've been using and had success with in the past. Reviewing um features under this feature flag. So I did write down the steps here in the mr, but we might want to share these further for future. Mrs, um so I went ahead and got get pod set up.

A

And then the first step I take is I go to this gdk bash and I just do gdk stock.

A

To stop everything then I simulate sass.

A

And then I do say start so then I start this back up um to make sure it's running so then I'll, let that kind of do its thing. Generally, um I sometimes check to make sure that was successful other times I kind of go straight into the feature flag stuff.

A

Then I want to do this bin rails.

A

Let that do its thing.

A

I do this application settings first update after it's done.

A

And then I turn on the feature flag.

A

Let me go back here: open up, gdk.

A

It's very slow on my computer, so.

A

A

So now make sure to see start this ultimate trial. That typically means I'm now in the sas simulated version. So then I do a new project.

A

A

And I create this under the user, so it's a personal name, space.

A

A

All right, then, just invite a bunch of random members to this project. So let's do.

A

These four or these three, which.

A

A

And uh there's the alert that shows up, and it says one more member. If I go ahead and remove one member should show up as two more members so yeah. That is typically how I do this review. So I do the first stage of commands in gdk bash and then the second in the get pod task.

A

And then you should be able to view free user stuff.
