## Getting started

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Who this documentation is for">
    This hub is designed for everyone who touches the door sales and fulfillment process:

    * **Sales reps** — quickly quote and configure doors for customers
    * **Designers** — build and refine custom door specifications
    * **Operations teams** — validate and submit orders for production
    * **Managers** — review project pipelines and track order status
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="The three core workflows">
    Everything in the Design Studio revolves around three workflows:

    1. **Creating a door** — Configure a door from scratch or from a saved template, selecting all style and hardware options.
    2. **Managing a project** — Organize designs by customer or job, track statuses, and collaborate with your team.
    3. **Completing an order** — Review specs and pricing, run through the readiness checklist, and submit for production.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="How to navigate this documentation">
    Use the **left-hand navigation** to browse sections, or use the **search bar** at the top to jump directly to what you need.

    Each section starts with an overview page, followed by detailed step-by-step guides. Look for `Note`, `Warning`, and `Tip` callouts throughout — they highlight important details you won't want to miss.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Tips before you begin">
    * Make sure you have the correct role and workspace access before starting (see [Roles & Permissions](/basics/roles)).
    * Familiarize yourself with key terms like **project**, **variant**, **preset**, and **order** in the [Platform Overview](/basics/overview).
    * If you run into issues, check [Common Issues & Fixes](/faq/issues) before reaching out to support.
  </Accordion>
