Onboarding tour in Backstage

When you create your first workspace (or app) in Backstage, you'll have the option of taking our onboarding tour. The tour is designed to assist you in each step of the creation of a workspace, thanks an intuitive  checklist you can complete.

This is a great way to become familiar with everything Backstage has to offer for the creation of your apps, and will also point you the relevant articles in this getting started series.

Note: Should you no longer see the prompt to access the Onboarding tour, you can always access it by creating a test workspace and selecting the Onboarding workspace template, which will display the onboarding checklist.
