Limitations

Snaps in this Snap Pack use conditional display/hiding of fields. So, ensure that you always use the New Form UI (and not the classic UI) for the Snaps to function as designed/expected.
Channel operations Archive Channel and Unarchive Channel cannot be performed using a Bot Token account. Use a User Token account instead.

Known Issues
