Grow - Get started by creating an Experience
To create an Experience, a toolset is at hand, not only to allow you to start from a series of predefined templates, but also to allow modular sections to be added or removed from your own Experience.
Note: For in-depth documentation on the Grow toolset, check out the Grow Knowledgebase.
Prerequisite
A permission is used that is set up in the Admin Configuration section of Marigold Engage, to allow users to access the Grow module.
