 |
| find that you need to make changes to an element in a&nbsp;Core plug-in. Specifically, you may find that you have
 |
| content that&nbsp;would be better shared between practices (for example, a common work product, some shared guidance,
 |
| or a new role) and thus you may need to add a new or refine an existing core element.&nbsp;Alternatively, you may find
 |
| that if you were to&nbsp;refine an existing Core element that would be able to use it.&nbsp;For more information on the
