## Recommended setup

1. Confirm your workspace name and logo in [Settings icon] Settings.
2. Open [Team icon] Team and invite the teammates who write briefs, review work, or approve delivery.
3. Add your brand kit, existing guidelines, fonts, logos, and useful references.
4. Connect [Slack icon] Slack if your team wants request updates in a channel.
5. Select [Add icon] New request and include what success looks like, not only what to make.

## A strong first request includes

- The business goal or decision behind the work
- The audience and where they will see it
- What already exists and what must stay
- Useful source files, links, examples, and constraints
- A clear definition of done

## Invite people for a reason

Invite the people who will write briefs, provide brand context, review work, or approve delivery. Give each person the least powerful role that still lets them do their job. A reviewer can be a Light user or User without becoming a workspace Admin.

## What a useful first week looks like

- The correct workspace identity and team roles are visible
- The strongest existing brand material is available
- At least one focused request is ready in Backlog or Active
- The team knows who should answer Needs Input
- Slack is connected and tested if your team wants channel updates

## Start with one useful outcome

A focused first request is easier to review and gives your designer better context for every request that follows.

## FAQ

### Do we need a perfect brand kit before the first request?

No. Share the strongest material you already use, then add missing files and decisions as the workspace develops.

### What makes a first request hard to start?

A broad request with several unrelated outcomes creates unclear approval. Start with one useful result and a visible definition of done.

### Who should we invite during the first week?

Invite the people who will write briefs, provide source material, review work, or approve delivery. Give each person the least powerful role that still lets them do that job.
