To **set up your workspace**, start with three things before building anything: learn the navigation bar, set the appearance, and understand how apps and tables are created.

## Why people stall in the first week

New platforms are usually abandoned in the first few days, and almost always for the same reason.

- Not knowing where any given action lives
- Building a first app before understanding the structure
- Settings left at defaults that cause problems later
- No clear starting point among many options

## What to do first

- **Learn the action bar**, which reaches almost every action in the platform
- **Set your language and region**, including the time zone
- **Create a folder** for the first process you intend to build
- **Build one table**, then one app over it
- **Invite the team** once there is something for them to use

## How to configure it in Jestor

1. Open **Jestor** and note the main buttons: chat, docs, apps and tables.
2. Press Ctrl+K to open the central action bar, which commands almost everything.
3. Type "create" to see the main actions, then type what you want after it — a blank table, a blank app, a template, or a task.
4. Create your first table, then create an app over it.
5. Adjust the appearance so the workspace is comfortable to work in.

## Why choose Jestor to start from?

**Jestor** offers three ways into a first build: install a ready template, upload an existing spreadsheet so apps are generated on top of it, or book a free session with the team to configure it together.

There is a free account to test with, and templates install in around two minutes — so the first working process does not need to wait for a project.
