What is Sessions Overview?
Sessions Overview is where your team runs ER:LC sessions. Start a session, open a poll to gauge interest, schedule one for later and see how past sessions went.
Open it with Manage Session in the Toolbox. The button reads Pending Poll or Active Session while one is running.
Anyone can view Sessions Overview. Starting, ending and managing sessions requires the Manage Sessions permission.

Session Polls
A poll lets your community vote before a session starts.
