Would recommend using the ConnectionResolver in order to set the connection, rather than completely setting the tenant as per performance, security etc.

| // We will assume that Products uses the `OnTenant` Trait | ||

``$tenantProducts` please :D
| ### Accessing `OnTenant` models from a "sub-site" | ||
| Before a model that uses the `OnTenant` trait can be used a tenant needs to be identified. Because of this it is best practice to avoid using tenant models on a non-tenant site. | ||
|
|
||
| In events where this access is still needed, a tenant will first need to be identified within your code. |

You could need it, or not, please try to make it look more like an option. Maybe showcase both the ConnectionResolver way and the setting tenant way

I don't even think this warning is necessary. Especially on the tenant website you will need to know who the tenant is.. In fact I would even enable eager tenant identification for this.

| ## Tips and Reminders | ||
| ### Namespaceing | ||
| As with any Laravel application; if you are storing controllers in a different location than in `app\Http\Controllers` you will need to use the namespace option within your routes. |

Remove this line and the usage of namespace, please. I don't personally recommend using namespaces, rather classes to reference the controllers

| ### Routes Affect Listener | ||
| Next we need to create the listener for the [Routes Affect]() that will get rid of the system (non-tenant) routes and load our tenant route file instead. |

Agreed with @ArlonAntonius's comments. Once those are fixed, this should be good to go |
| This tutorial will assume that you have followed the [basic setup tutorial](tutorial-basic-setup). | ||

| ## Routes | ||
| The first thing we want to do is configure the [Routes Affect](affacts-routes). |

| First start by creating a new file for all tenant specific routes. |

This is repeated from above. First we do, first we do that.
A more fluid way of saying this is something like
| First start by creating a new file for all tenant specific routes. | |
| In order to set up the tenant specific routes, we will need to create a routes file for it. |

| Route::get('/', function () { | ||
| //This is the "root" route for all tenants |

I'd never use a callable in an example for routes. Callables cause routes files to be no longer cacheable. So.. either just remove the non-working example or provide a controlller from the get-go.

| ### Accessing `OnTenant` models from a "sub-site" |

Can we rename "sub-site" to tenant site or something else? And make it consistent in the whole tutorial.

| When the User Model has the `OnTenant` trait applied to it, you will not be able to have those users login to any "non-tenant" routes. Because there is no tenant identified, it will not be possible to authenticate the user. | ||
| To overcome this you will need to either create two different User models (Admin & User), or will need to store all users in the system database. The option you choose will depend on youre goals and objectives. |

This is not true and reminds me a lot about the restrictions that hyn/multi-tenant had. If you would want an admin dashboard that allows authenticating users from a tenant, you can create a log in page that asks for their credentials and one more field with a slug, unique hash or something else to identify the tenant with. Then, modify the authentication layer to see whether the identifier is in the payload and set up a tenant database connection on the fly..
t/t is built to be as flexible as possible, the only limitation is your own imagination.
| When using subdomain identification, it is best practice to preform an additional check when registering a new tenant that they do not try to use a subdomain you have configured for a "non-tenant site". | ||
| I.E. Do not allow users to register the subdomains (`www`, `admin`, etc...) |

Without providing an actual implementation for this, I'm not sure this advice is appreciated. Even mentioning this might sound condescending because it seems pretty obvious you want this.
Add tutorial for a basic "non-tenant" site setup along with some common problems, and tips that need to be accounted for.
