- The person confirmed their email with a code before sending, but make sure it's really them before you share or change anything.
- Owners and Admins are emailed when a request arrives and reminded before it's due.
- In your organisation's workspace, requests go to ConsoleSettingsData & privacy and are answered there with your other requests.
If Something Goes Wrong
