Hi, not new to iNat but kind of new to using different features and the forum. Is there a place where general “how to” is discussed?  
For instance, I searched but can’t find what Established vs Not Established means under Annotations. I read about the new Evidence of Presence values, but I’m wondering about the drop down for not or is established.  
I have seen it for several of my observations, but the Houston Toad is an example.  
Thank you.
