December 10, 2021
Presented by: Jake Lott
Length: 1:02:28
As we complete yet another trip around the sun, it's time for our annual tradition of celebrating all the hard work the Land F/X team has put in over the past year. Our weekly updates continued to bring brand-new features and complete overhauls of existing ones. Our content team worked tirelessly to update our detail standards, add new irrigation symbols, and further expand our block libraries. And don't forget our educational resources efforts, where everything from our meticulously produced webinars and Power Tip videos, to the tiniest Knowledge Base article turning a user's technical support issue into a documented solution, gave users like you a better chance of learning and mastering the software. Settle in as we show off what we've achieved and delivered throughout 2021.
