Wondering what makes webinars different from learning labs?
Webinars provide a high-level overview of broader information or recent updates, designed for general understanding rather than in-depth, practical application or setup.
Learning Labs provide a hands-on, interactive experience. You work in your own account with facilitator guidance to master and adopt specific product features. Learning labs are especially helpful for those beginning to use a particular feature.
