Each section links out to a more in-depth guide so you can dive deeper when you're ready.

If you provided a website during your sign-up process, we've already created a Voice and Knowledge for you to accurately represent your company. If you need additional voices for different content channels or writers, you can learn how to create them in Voices 101.

It's recommended to add as much useful context on your business as possible to your knowledge base. To see what types of content you should add to teach Flows about your company and how to set that up properly, take a look at Knowledge 101.

We've created a few default Spaces for you for common departments. If you want to learn how best to organize the spaces inside your workspace to represent your different departments, clients, and other organizational needs, check out Best Practices For Spaces.
