# An idea is enough to begin.

23 September 2026 · By the Nodary team

Write your first document without setting up a project. Follow three practical steps, choose your starting view and use new missions for travel, studies, job searches and creative work.

A trip to prepare, an idea to explore, a course to understand. Getting started should not require knowing how to organize a workspace. Nodary now makes room for the first document before asking you to structure the rest.

## Write first. Organize when it helps.

At signup, naming your workspace is optional: My space is created for you. The welcome screen and home both offer a direct writing action. It creates a real document in your workspace without requiring a project. Existing invitations still take you into the invited team.

## Three steps with a useful result

Create a document, connect a second source and prepare a context brief you can share or use in your next AI conversation. The guide counts real documents and source links. The last step completes after a brief is successfully assembled. Dismiss the guide at any point and reopen it when useful.

## Choose where your work begins

Open My starting view on home and choose Documents, Columns or Constellation. Your account remembers the choice when you enter a workspace. Direct document links keep their destination. The documents list now comes before the larger discovery panels, keeping daily work closer.

## For projects that are yours

Four new English and French missions cover a trip, studies, a job search and a creative project. Each suggests sources to gather and a concrete result to request. Review and apply a mission, adapt it, choose your documents and prepare the brief. Replacing an existing mission can be undone.

## Try it in your workflow

1. Open the example below to explore the home and starting views.
2. In your own workspace, choose Write a document. You can add projects and folders later.
3. Return home and use Link a source to connect two documents, then prepare a context brief.
4. In Context studio, open the mission templates and try a personal scenario.

Writing and connecting your own documents require an account with editing access and available workspace capacity. The public example uses sample data; its Write action opens signup. The example’s starting view stays in that browser, separately from your account preference. Guide dismissal and context-completion progress are also local to the browser. Templates prepare a request from the sources you select; they do not research live information, make bookings or submit applications. This release does not import work from the demo into an account.
