The first time you open the app
The first time you sign in to the app with a new account, Devchaos asks three short things: permissions, account type and your profile. Then, if you like, a tour starts on a sample project. You see these steps once per account.
New accounts signing in to the app for the first time.
Your data and permissions
What the service needs to work can't be turned off. Crash and error reports start on and Usage statistics start off; set them as you like. Tick I have read and accept the Terms of Use and press Continue. You can change these later under Settings › Privacy and safety.
Choose an account type
At How will you use Devchaos?, choose Studio or company or Independent creator. Studio is selected to begin with; if you work under your own name, press Independent creator. A studio account shows the studio's name and logo in the app.
Complete your profile
Your name and photo come from devchaos.com. You can upload a photo or pick a ready avatar. Your main field, Your title, Experience, your programs and your links are optional. Your username stays as it is.
If you chose a studio, the page becomes Introduce your studio: the studio's name and address are required, the logo and the rest are optional. When you're done, press Start.
Start the tour or leave it for later
When the app opens, a Welcome card appears. Press Set up the sample project and a project made just for you, Lost Lighthouse, is set up with a team, tasks, drawings, files and scripts. The tour has 10 chapters, about half an hour in all; pause or leave it from the bar at the bottom.
If you press Not now, the tour waits under the cap icon in the title bar (Academy). At the end you choose Keep the sample project or Delete the sample project; your own projects are never touched.

I closed the tour. How do I open it again?
