## New Admin Sign-Up Flow

When an admin signs up for Duvo for the first time, the product walks through a short onboarding sequence before reaching the main workspace:

1. **Welcome screen** — an introduction to what Duvo can do
2. **Connections setup** — a prompt to connect the tools your assignments will use (Google Workspace, Slack, and others)

Complete both steps to reach your workspace. You can add more connections later from the Connections section at any time.

***

## Step 1: Create Your First Assignment

1. Log in to your Duvo workspace
2. Click the **Create Assignment** button in the left sidebar
3. Choose how you want to build:
   * **Use a Template** - Start with a pre-built assignment for common tasks
   * **Start from Scratch** - Build a custom assignment with the Assignment Builder

***

## Step 2: Describe What You Want

If starting from scratch, describe what you want your assignment to do in plain English. For example:

> "Every Monday morning, check my Gmail inbox for expense reports, extract the amounts, and add them to my Google Sheet."

The Assignment Builder will help you refine this into a working assignment.

***

## Step 3: Connect Your Connections

Your assignment needs access to the systems it will work with:

1. Go to **Resources** → **Connections** in the left sidebar
2. Click on the connection you need (Gmail, Google Sheets, etc.)
3. Follow the prompts to authorize access
4. Return to your assignment and select the connected connections

***

## Step 4: Test Your Assignment

Before scheduling or relying on your assignment:

1. Open your assignment
2. Click **Run** to start a test job
3. Watch the session log to see your assignment working
4. Review the results and refine if needed

***

## Step 5: Schedule or Run On-Demand

Once you're happy with how your assignment works:

* **Run manually** - Click Run whenever you need the task done
* **Schedule it** - Set up automatic jobs (daily, weekly, etc.)
