FAQs
FAQs
Do parents need an account to view the family resources page?
Parents do not need an account to view the family resources page because the onboarding link directs users to a publicly accessible web page. Anyone who clicks the URL can watch the introduction video and read the family guide without entering any login credentials.
Can I customize the text or videos on the centrally hosted onboarding pages?
You cannot customize the text or videos on the centrally hosted onboarding pages because these standard directories are managed globally by Minga to maintain accurate platform documentation. If you want to share custom instructions specific to your school site, write those additional details directly into the text field on your own school website.
