Altium is well documented, and many questions can be readily answered through online searching - links from [http://techdocs.altium.com techdocs.altium.com] are the official online documentation, and are usually quite helpful. The {{slack-channel|altium}} Slack channel is also a valuable resource for problems the TechDocs don't have a solution for, for asking about best practices, and for discussing group issues (ie. maintaining the SSI Altium part libraries). The intent of this wiki category is to provide guidance on how to set Altium up for working with SSI, important elements of the SSI PCB workflow, and general notes on PCB design.
