Hi Philip,

Thanks for the quick response! I'd be happy to take a look at issue #11797. It looks like a great place for me to start.

I'll begin by setting up the project locally and digging into the requirements listed there. I'll reach out on the GitHub issue if I hit any snags or need clarification on the implementation.

Best, Parth

Hi Parth,

Perfect. If you comment on the issue, I should be able to assign it to you.

Since this is a documentation issue, you'll probably find this helpful: https://guides.dataverse.org/en/6.9/contributor/documentation.html

If you have any questions, please feel to start a topic in #docs at https://dataverse.zulipchat.com

Thanks for taking a look!

Phil
