# Quickstart

> Create an account, upload a document, and get your first cited answer.

This walkthrough takes you from a new account to a cited answer over a document you uploaded.

## Prerequisites

* An email address you can open right now. Sign-in uses a magic link, not a password.
* At least one file to upload: PDF, Word (`.docx`), Excel (`.xlsx`), CSV, text, or Markdown.
* Permission to create documents. Owners and administrators can upload. Regular users need a group with **Can create documents** enabled.

## Get started

<Steps>
  <Step title="Create your account">
    Open `/register`, enter your work email, and choose **Create account**.

    ScopeRAG emails a magic link. Open it on the same device you want to use. After verification you land in chat for your organization.

    <Note>
      Magic links expire after 15 minutes. If the link is invalid, request a new one from `/login`.
    </Note>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Upload a document">
    Go to **Documents** and choose **New Document**. Add one or more files, then set:

    * **Classification** — sensitivity of the file
    * **Categories** — folders in your taxonomy (Uncategorized is available by default)
    * **Tags** — optional labels for later filtering

    Wait until the file shows as uploaded. ScopeRAG processes it in the background before chat can retrieve it.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Ask a question">
    Open **Chat**, pick a model if more than one is available, and ask something the document can answer.

    Example: `What does this policy say about remote work?`

    The assistant streams a reply. Sources appear under the message. Open a source to read the cited passage.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Invite your team">
    If you are an owner or administrator, open **Admin Center** → **Users** and invite colleagues by email. Assign the **User** role and add them to groups so they only see the documents they should.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Check>
  You should now have a conversation with at least one cited source from a file you uploaded.
</Check>

## If something is missing

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="I did not receive the magic link">
    Check spam, then request another link from `/login`. The email is sent only if the address is eligible. Invited users receive a link when an administrator creates their account.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Upload is blocked">
    Your plan may be at the file or storage limit, or your role cannot create documents. An administrator can raise the plan on **Plan & usage** or enable **Can create documents** on your group.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Chat has no sources">
    Processing may still be running. Confirm the file appears in Documents, then ask again. Also check chat filters: an empty or overly narrow classification, category, or tag filter can hide the file.
