Sign up and create a brain

1. Create your account

1. Go to app.openknowledge.com.
2. Choose Continue with Google, Continue with Microsoft, Continue with GitHub, or Continue with email.
3. With email, enter your address and click Send code, then enter the six-digit code from the email and click Verify.

If you see "New accounts are not open yet", sign in with the email address your invitation was sent to. If you have no invitation, ask a workspace administrator to invite you.

2. Create a workspace

After you sign in for the first time, the app asks you to create a workspace.

1. Choose Personal to work on your own brains, or Team to work on shared brains with other people.
2. For a Team workspace, enter a Team name and a Workspace URL.
3. Click Create workspace. No card is required.
4. For a Team workspace, invite teammates by email, or choose Skip for now.

If someone already invited you, the setup page lists the workspace under Workspaces you can join. Click Join.

See Workspaces and members for roles and invitations.

3. Create a brain

A brain holds a set of pages, such as a team wiki or a project's notes.

1. On the workspace home, click New brain. You can also use the + next to Brains in the sidebar.
2. Enter a Brain name, such as example-project. Its URL is shown below the name; you can change it later in the brain's settings.
3. In a Team workspace, choose Who has access: Everyone in the workspace, or Only people added.
4. Click Create brain.

4. Add your first page

1. In the brain's file sidebar, click New file, or press Cmd+N (Ctrl+N on Windows and Linux).
2. The new page appears as Untitled.md. Type a name and press Enter.
3. Start writing. Your changes save as you type.

Use New folder to group pages. See Write and edit pages for the editor.
