# Getting Help

Navigating the wealth of resources available for Xarray can be overwhelming.
We’ve created this flow chart to help guide you towards the best way to get help, depending on what you’re working towards.

Also be sure to check out our [Frequently Asked Questions](faq.html.md#faq). and [How do I …](howdoi.html.md#howdoi) pages for solutions to common questions.

A major strength of Xarray is in the user community. Sometimes you might not yet have a concrete question but would simply like to connect with other Xarray users. We have a few accounts on different social platforms for that! [Social Media](socials.html.md#socials).

We look forward to hearing from you!
