⚠️ Issue: Web Part Not Displaying Correctly

Solution: Ensure that the web part has been added to a modern SharePoint page and that the page has been republished. Check for any missing permissions that might be required for the web part to function correctly.

🗃️ Issue: Lists/Library Not Created

Solution: Verify that the "Apply template" button was clicked after adding the "Design 2 Setup" web part. If the lists/Library are still not created, delete the page and reapply the design.
