Asking a question
Getting started on Stack Overflow for Teams is easy – just ask a question.

Ask an expert
The Title is your hook to catch your colleagues’ attention. Think about if you were asking someone
sitting next to you for help. You’d start your question with “what”, “where”, “when”, “why”, or “how”
and tell them the action you want, “fix”, “prevent”, “compare”, “access” - then provide more context
and detail once you have their attention.
The Body is where you explain your question in more detail. The more information you can put in the
question, the more likely you will be to get an answer.
Think you already know some experts that could answer your question? Start typing team member names
or user groups and choose who should be alerted of your question.

On MacOS you need to run a shell script called setup.sh from your CLI. When
running under Windows LocalSetup needs PowerShell to show the menu system and we can assume
it’s there on pretty much all recent builds. However, it isn’t installed by default on MacOS
and Linux so we need to make sure that we have PowerShell Core installed and executable prior
to running setup.sh.
