🛠️ Troubleshooting
- If you cannot see the Compliance Tracker 365 app:

- Verify that the required lists have been created in the site collection before navigating to any page to configure the app.
⚙️ Final Configuration
- Return to the Home page to complete setup.
- Once the app is fully deployed, it will redirect to the Management page.
