+<!-- ## Troubleshooting
+
+Include any troubleshooting steps that you can foresee. If you know beforehand what issues
+one might have when setting this up, or when something is changed, or on upgrading, it's

+questions that you know someone might ask.

+Each scenario can be a third-level heading, e.g. `### Getting error message X`.

+but commented out to help encourage others to add to it in the future. -->
