Thank you! I feel this advice will help me when checking out the other resources amazing people have proposed.
And yeah, lots of the hesitation is probably just being afraid of the unknown. Taking a few simple steps should dispell that.
Welcome to the team! And also keep in mind that every mapper makes mistakes from time to time. It's not the end of the world. And if it's really something crucial then it will get fixed very soon ^^
