Quick Start Guide

This guide will walk you through creating your first flowchart with useWorkspace.AI in just 5 minutes.

Step 1: Create an Account

1. Visit useworkspace.dk
2. Click "Get Started" or "Sign Up"
3. Sign up using your email or Google account
4. You'll be automatically redirected to your workspaces page

Step 2: Create Your First Workspace

Workspaces help you organize flowcharts by project or team.

1. Click "New Workspace" on the workspaces page
2. Give it a name (e.g., "My First Project")
3. Click "Create Workspace"

You'll be taken to your new workspace where you can create flows.

Step 3: Create Your First Flow

A "flow" is a flowchart. Let's create one:

1. Click "New Flow" in your workspace
2. You'll see a blank canvas with a shape palette on the left
3. Your flow is automatically saved in the cloud

Step 4: Add Shapes to Your Flow

There are two ways to add shapes:

Method 1: Drag and Drop

1. Find the Start/End shape in the left sidebar
2. Drag it onto the canvas
3. Double-click the shape to edit its label
4. Type "Start" and press Enter

Method 2: Use AI (Recommended)

1. Click the AI prompt bar at the bottom
2. Type: add a start node labeled "Begin Process"
3. Press Enter
4. The AI will add the shape for you!

Step 5: Connect Shapes

Let's create a simple process flow:

1. Add a Process shape below your Start node
2. Hover over the Start node
3. Drag from the connection point (circle) to the Process node
4. An arrow (edge) connects them!

Step 6: Use the AI Prompt Bar

The AI prompt bar is your superpower. Try these commands:

add a decision node asking "User authenticated?"

add a process node for "Send confirmation email"

connect the decision node to the process node with "Yes"

The AI understands natural language and builds your flowchart for you!

Step 7: Customize Your Flow

Use the Inspector panel on the right to:

• Change node colors
• Edit labels and descriptions
• Lock/unlock nodes
• View node properties

Step 8: Export Your Flow

When you're done:

1. Click the Export button in the toolbar
2. Choose your format:
   • PNG: For images and presentations
   • SVG: For vector graphics
   • PDF: For documents
   • JSON: For backups or importing elsewhere
