What is included

If you are looking into What is included, start here: the essentials, in the standard package. The point is that extras are usually itemised separately.

Common mistake

Common mistake in one line: leaving it late and paying more. Beyond the number, a short checklist prevents most of it.

If something changes, note the date; patterns only show up with dates on them. Knowing this about Common mistake prevents most mistakes.
