## Next Steps for Michael

### Immediate (This Week)

1. **Answer the 5 Key Questions** in `05-QUESTIONS-AND-ACTION-ITEMS.md`:
   - Timeline needs (2 weeks or 4-6 weeks?)
   - Time commitment (2 hours/week for feedback?)
   - Hosting budget ($0, $10-20, or more?)
   - Team size (how many users?)
   - Branding (personal, company, or generic?)

2. **Document 2-3 Troubleshooting Scenarios** (Start with these):
   - Citrix VDA Not Registering
   - FSLogix Profile Issues
   - Active Directory Replication Failure
   
   Use the template in `05-QUESTIONS-AND-ACTION-ITEMS.md`

3. **Provide Sample Ticket Notes**
   - Copy/paste an example of how you currently document troubleshooting
   - This helps design export formats that match your workflow

4. **Review All Docs**
   - Read through everything
   - Add comments/questions/ideas directly in the markdown files
   - Flag anything unclear or that you disagree with

### This Weekend (Optional)

- Start collecting documentation links you reference frequently
- Think about client context for Warner Robins (server names, etc.)
- List your PowerShell scripts that might integrate later
- Brainstorm names for the tool

## Tips for Reviewing in VS Code

### Useful Extensions
- **Markdown All in One** - Preview, formatting, shortcuts
- **Markdown Preview Enhanced** - Better preview with more features
- **GitLens** (if we add version control) - Track changes

### Keyboard Shortcuts
- `Ctrl+Shift+V` - Open markdown preview
- `Ctrl+K V` - Open preview side-by-side
- `Ctrl+F` - Find in file
- `Ctrl+Shift+F` - Find in all files

### Making Notes
You can either:
1. Add comments directly in the markdown (I can read them)
2. Create a new file: `MICHAEL-NOTES.md` with your thoughts
3. Use VS Code's comment feature (highlight text, right-click)

## Questions While Reading?

Just add them anywhere in the docs like this:

```markdown
> **MICHAEL'S QUESTION:** What if the tree has more than 20 steps? 
> Won't that be too long?
```

Or create a `QUESTIONS.md` file with all your questions in one place.

## Remember

This is YOUR tool. Everything in these documents is a proposal based on our conversation. If something doesn't feel right:

- Question it
- Change it
- Suggest alternatives
- Tell me why it won't work

The goal is to build something that actually solves your problem, not to follow a perfect plan that doesn't work in reality.
