Before you start

  • Sign in and have room for a new workspace under your account plan.
  • Have AI credits available. Review the proposed result before applying changes.

Step-by-step walkthrough

  1. Step 1

    Choose the scratch starting point

    On setup or the new-workspace chooser, select Start from scratch — let your files build it. This path avoids sample library content; it is distinct from a template starter.

  2. Step 2

    Complete required company details

    For a first workspace, enter the company details and complete the remaining setup choices. Existing accounts may reuse their saved company profile.

  3. Step 3

    Create the empty workspace

    Finish with Create & upload my files. Creation is additive and does not overwrite your other workspaces. The document blueprint flow opens next.

  4. Step 4

    Approve structure, then SOPs

    Upload representative documents, review suggested tabs and widgets, and select Build my workspace. Then inspect the SOP import drafts and approve those separately. Without files, the workspace remains available for manual additions.

Practical example

Build from real agency processes

Use onboarding, delivery and billing documents to shape a small empty workspace. Reject suggestions that do not correspond to the way the agency actually works.

Common issues and fixes

I expected SOPs immediately after creating it
Scratch intentionally begins without sample procedures. Upload and approve documents or add a manual SOP.
A widget suggestion is irrelevant
Uncheck it before building. You do not need to accept every suggested tool to create useful departments.

What success looks like

An empty starting point becomes an organization you reviewed, without unwanted sample knowledge.
