### New org owner? Run the Setup Wizard first

If you're the first admin of a brand-new org, you'll land on the **Setup Wizard** at `/org-setup` instead of the dashboard. It walks you through identity, social handles, ingestion method, goals, audience, publishing behavior, and brand voice in a guided flow, then offers optional advanced steps for competitors, team invites, Telegram, approval workflow, and RSS feeds. Complete the core steps to reach the dashboard; you can revisit skipped advanced steps later. See [Onboarding Wizard](/thecontentforge-docs/getting-started/onboarding-wizard.md) for the full breakdown.

### 1. Sign in

Go to the login page and enter the email you used to request access. You'll land on the **Dashboard**.

### 2. Tour the sidebar

The left nav is grouped roughly by purpose:

* **Content** - Dashboard, Calendar, Content Forge, Video Forge, ForgeSays, and any org-specific content tools
* **Intelligence** - Algorithm Watch, Brand Voice, Patterns, Competitor Analysis, and Experiments
* **Operations** - Asset Library, Social Connections, Data Ingestion, Bot History, and Security Log
* **Management** - Settings, Users, My Account, and admin-only tools

### 3. Set your brand voice

Open [Brand Voice](/thecontentforge-docs/feature-guides/brand-voice.md) and define your voice profile. Content Forge and Video Forge use this on generation, so the better this is, the better your drafts.

### 4. Generate something

Open [Content Forge](/thecontentforge-docs/feature-guides/content-studio.md), pick a generation mode, and produce your first batch of drafts. If you work from long-form content, upload a video in [Video Forge](/thecontentforge-docs/feature-guides/video-studio.md) and generate platform-specific outputs from the transcript.

### 5. Get your data flowing (Editor+)

If you're an Editor or Admin, head to [Data Ingestion](/thecontentforge-docs/feature-guides/data-ingestion.md) and upload your last 7 days of platform analytics. You can also connect profiles in [Social Connections](/thecontentforge-docs/feature-guides/social-connections.md) if you are an owner or Admin. Dashboard and Patterns sharpen as more data lands.

### 6. Bookmark the help

Help links live at the bottom of the sidebar: **FAQ** and **Help Docs**, alongside this site.
