Your first day in Atloria should feel simple and productive. This guide walks you through a few easy wins so you can get comfortable quickly, set up your workspace, and see useful results right away.
You do not need to learn everything at once. A good first day in Atloria usually looks like this:
- Sign in and get familiar with where things are
- Create or open a project
- Add your first documentation content
- Review how your team will share and publish work
- Explore one extra feature that gives you immediate value

A few helpful first steps:

Your first quick win is simply reaching the right starting point with confidence. If you can sign in, move between your home area and projects, and understand where to begin, you are ready for the rest of your first day.
Create or Open Your First Project
Most work in Atloria starts inside a project. If your team has already created one for you, open it from your project list. If not, create a new project and follow the setup steps.
On your first day, focus on these basics:
- Give the project a clear name
- Choose the setup path that fits your team
- Complete the onboarding steps
- Open the project home so you can see its main sections
If you are not sure whether to start from connected content or set things up yourself, Atloria provides guidance for both paths.
Use these guides for deeper help:
- Working with Project Lists and Dashboards
- Creating Projects and Completing Onboarding
- Choosing Between Manual and Connected Project Setup
- Managing Project Administration from the Project Home
Quick win
By the end of this step, you should have one project open in Atloria and know where its main controls live. That alone gives you a strong starting point for future work.
Add Your First Documentation Page
Once your project is ready, create or update a page so you can see how documentation work feels in Atloria.
For your first page, keep it simple. You might add:
- A project overview
- A getting started page for teammates
- A short process note
- A draft page you plan to improve later
This first edit helps you learn how content is organized and how your team will build documentation together.

Your next quick win is publishing your first meaningful draft inside Atloria, even if it is only a short page. A small page is enough to help you understand how your team will create and maintain documentation.
Review Project Settings and Sharing Basics
After you have a project and at least one page, take a few minutes to review the settings that shape how your documentation is presented and managed.
On your first day, you do not need to change everything. Just look through the available options so you know where to return later for:
- Project details
- Website and presentation options
- Team-facing controls
- Connected services and update behavior
Helpful guides:

A simple but valuable first-day win is knowing where your project settings live. Even if you make no changes yet, you will save time later by knowing where to go.
Explore the Project Dashboard
Before your first day ends, spend a few minutes on the project dashboard. This helps you understand the health and activity of your documentation work.
Look for things like:
- Current project activity

- High-level performance information

This is a great first-day habit: open the dashboard and get a quick sense of what is happening. It helps you stay oriented without needing to dig into every detail.
If You Are an Admin, Visit the Admin Workspace

On your first day, focus on awareness rather than full setup. Review where Atloria keeps:
- Administrative navigation
- User access controls
- Security and audit information
- High-level activity and usage views
Helpful guides:
- Using the Admin Workspace
- Managing User Access and Administrative Permissions
