When I was newer to Appian I just kept this page (or its ancient equivalent) basically always open in a browser tab, and would just fish through it when I had a question, or sometimes browse through it anyway and see if it gave me ideas of new things to try.

This is something I tell any Appian junior I get in contact with. You need to know your toolbox! Pick a random Appian function every day and find out what it does and toy around with it.

Could be a daily post, Stefan: "Random Function of the Day" and see how far you can push each!
