Overview
FAQ provides self-service guidance for participants, judges, and organizers using the Brightidea Hackathon 6 platform. It covers how the event works, how to use the platform, and where to get help. These answers are informational only and do not affect system logic, workflows, or permissions.
Note: This article covers Hackathon 6 (Spring 2026 release). If you are on an earlier version, see the Hackathon FAQ Page article for previous versions.
