Welcome to this getting started guide

Welcome to this getting started series of articles, designed to help you create your event app, also called a workspace, in Backstage.

Take an onboarding tour in Backstage

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

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

Note: Should you no longer see the prompt in Backstage 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.
