Merhaba@Samderali,

 

Bu harika kılavuzu oluşturduğunuz için teşekkür ederiz! Herkese açık hale getirmeden önce bir sonraki bölümünüzü bekleyeceğim. Daha sonra, sizinki daha güncel ve derinlemesine olduğundan, halihazırda mevcut olan kılavuzu (aşağıda görülmektedir) arşivleyeceğim. 

Hello, I wish you a good day. I have completed my article about the editor. Can you make it public? Thank you ❤️
