Helpful Videos
We will be creating videos of Carousel functions that may not be obvious.
These will all be on YouTube.
This will be a work in progress.
In the following list, those videos that exist will have a (blue) link.
The ones yet to come, but scheduled, are simply line items.
If you have a suggestion for something we did not think of, let us know.
We presume in this section that you either know Carousel, or have seen the Full Demo
Times are in minutes and seconds.

Changes and Announcements
Updated 4/11/24
-- The Carousel Change Guide V2010
-- The Carousel Change Guide V2012
This is a PDF and is updated every time a change is made to one of the programs.
It does not list forms, unless that form change affects a program.
I got a letter from the lawyers of a Very Large DMS Company grumping that I was referring to their universally used bank contract
with the contract's name and sometimes number. Even though I am licensed to distribute this contract.
So from now on, references to that Very Well Known Company's products will be abbreviated as
TOCBWU, for The Only Contract Banks Will Use.
