5. Answering Questions How You Respond To answer a question, click on the red “ Answer” button, and then type in the answer window on the answer page. Click “ Send My Answer”. Each answer window can send 2 text messages. If you need to send additional messages after you have sent the first answer, click on the green “Add Answer” button. If another Ambassador has already begun answering the question, the “I Got It” feature will appear above the answer window (image lower right) Please note: You will see a custom footer displayed as soon as you begin typing. The footer will drop off as you type if your response requires the entire answer area. An alert will appear above the answer window to let you know when another Ambassador is already answering the question I Got It Feature (not displayed above)
