Get started in 5 minutes

A 4-step rail at the top of your dashboard walks you from empty workspace to live class. Self-hides once you're done.

Last updated May 20, 2026

Brand-new tenants land on a Dashboard with a highlighted Get started card at the top. It tracks four milestones automatically — no checkbox to tick, no "mark as done" friction.

The four steps

  • Create your first course — just a title and a one-liner.
  • Add a lesson — a video, doc, or text note.
  • Schedule your first live class — sets up the room, the join link, and the calendar invite in one step.
  • Invite your first student — send them the join link by email; they don't need an account.

Self-hiding logic

Each step is marked done based on real data — does the tenant have a course? does any course have a lesson? do they have a live session scheduled? do they have any students? Once all four are true, the rail vanishes. If you'd rather hide it before completing, click the ✕ in the corner — the preference sticks in localStorage.

Power-user note

The card never re-appears once dismissed. If you want it back (e.g. on a fresh demo account), clear the localStorage key dashboard:getting-started:dismissed in the browser console.
