Planet Community Guidelines

Planet Community is a place for all Planet users to troubleshoot problems, learn from other Planet users, share their knowledge, and source technical details that can accelerate their work. We at Planet believe that this mission is best served in an environment that is friendly, safe, and accepting, and free from intimidation or harassment. We aim to make participation in our project and our community a harassment-free experience for everyone, regardless of age, body size, disability, ethnicity, sex characteristics, gender identity and expression, level of experience, education, socioeconomic status, nationality, personal appearance, race, religion, or sexual identity and orientation. Please note, Planet Community is not part of Planet's Technical Support which can be reached at https://support.planet.com/.
