# Quickstart

> Set up your studio and get your first project files into the portal.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Create your studio">
    Go to [app.linkatect.com/?studio=1](https://app.linkatect.com/?studio=1) and choose **Create your studio**. Enter your studio name, your email and a password (at least 8 characters).

    You get a private, empty Studio. Only your team can see it.

    <Tip>Already have an account? Choose **Sign in** on the same page.</Tip>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add a project">
    In Studio, click **New project** and give it a name, for example *2603 Northcote Residence*.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Connect your office server">
    On the Studio projects page, find the **Office server** panel:

    1. Download the **Mac kit** or **Windows kit** for the computer next to your server.
    2. Click **Create key** and copy the key. It is shown only once.
    3. Under **Set each project's folder**, type the name of each project's folder on your server and click **Save**.

    Then follow the setup guide for [Mac](/office-server/mac) or [Windows](/office-server/windows).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Do a practice run, then sync">
    On the office computer, double-click **2 Practice run**. It lists every file it *would* send, where it would go and who would see it. Nothing is uploaded.

    If it looks right, double-click **3 Sync now**. Your files appear in Studio.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Turn on automatic sync">
    Double-click **4 Turn on automatic sync** and choose **Instant**. New files then reach the portal about a minute after they're saved. See [Automatic sync](/office-server/automatic-sync).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Invite your client">
    Open the project in Studio and go to **Overview**. In **People with access**, enter your client's email, choose their role and send the invitation. See [Inviting people](/studio/people).
  </Step>
