# First Steps and onboarding

A short in-app tour that fires the first time you sign in. If you skipped it or want to walk it again, this is where to find it.

![First Steps modal docked over the editor showing the "End to End Introduction to Intangible" embedded video, the "Welcome to Intangible Studio" headline, and a paginated set of step tiles for each major area of the product](/files/GJTkHtK3Gfi5zqIN0hXv)

## What it covers

The First Steps tour is a four-to-five-step walkthrough overlaid on the actual product. It surfaces the surfaces that matter most for new users:

1. Where the asset library lives.
2. How to switch modes.
3. Where the visualizer is.
4. How to reach Help & Feedback.
5. How to start a new project.

It does not teach – it points. The pointing is enough to give you a mental map; the rest of [Get Started](/overview/get-started.md) is the depth.

## How to launch it again

The tour fires automatically on first sign-in and can be re-triggered any time:

1. Click the help icon in the top-right of the homepage.
2. Pick **First Steps** from the dropdown.
3. The tour overlay reopens at step 1.

If you've already seen the tour but want a different new-user experience for a teammate, sign them in on their own account – the tour is per-account, not per-team.

## When to skip it

You can dismiss the tour at any step with the close button. Skipping is fine; nothing requires completion. If you came in from a Loom, a sales call, or an explicit walkthrough by someone on the team, the in-app tour is redundant – close it and head to [Make your first render](/overview/get-started/first-render-in-20-minutes.md).

## What it doesn't cover

The tour gives you the geography. It does not cover the conceptual foundations that make the docs and the product readable. Read these next:

* [The three modes](/overview/concepts/the-three-modes.md): Build, Compose, Visualize as discrete states.
* [Projects and scenes](/overview/concepts/projects-and-scenes.md): how the structure nests.
* [How the visualizer thinks](/overview/concepts/how-the-visualizer-thinks.md): why the model is given a 3D scene, not just text.
