They are available any time if you have questions or concerns about something. You can PM any of us here, or use Google Hangouts (GHO). GHO’s are a huge part of the editing community these days. They are great for communicating, finding answers to questions, and getting to know your fellow editors. If you don't already have a gmail account, we would recommend getting one for that alone. Check out this forum post for access to our GHO: https://www.waze.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=387&t=197188

They are available any time if you have questions or concerns about something.  You can PM me or the SM's here, or use Discord.  Discord is a huge part of the community communication these days.  If you don't already have a gmail account (or at least a dedicated waze email address), I would recommend getting one.
