## The path

<Steps>
  <Step title="Sign up and land in your org" icon="user-plus">
    Go to **[admin.nudj.cx](https://admin.nudj.cx)** and sign in. On first sign-up you'll get a **single-step organisation creation flow**. After you save, you're redirected straight into **Create Community**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Create your first community" icon="users">
    In **Create Community** give it a name, slug, a short description, and a banner image. Save as **Draft**.

    <Tip>Pick a name members will see in the app. You can rename later, but slugs stick.</Tip>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Brand your space" icon="palette">
    Go to **Organisation Settings -> Customisation -> Branding & Appearance**. Upload your logo, pick accent colours, choose a font. The **live preview iframe** on the right shows your changes. See [Branding & Appearance](/admin-guide/settings/branding-theming).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Build a challenge" icon="trophy">
    Click the **+ New** button and pick **Challenge**. The **creation-method modal** gives you three options: start from scratch, duplicate an existing item, or ask the AI agent to draft it.

    Add a title, one quiz question, and a point reward. Save as **Draft** while you test.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Create a reward" icon="gift">
    From **+ New -> Reward**, pick the type (Asset / Entry / Points / XP), fill out the studio layout, set an allocation supply, and save. See [Creating Rewards](/admin-guide/rewards/creating-regular-rewards).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Wire the reward into the challenge" icon="link">
    Reopen your challenge, go to the **Distribution** step, and attach the reward. Hit **Save Draft**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Preview it" icon="eye">
    Every challenge has a **preview** button that opens the experience as a member would see it — desktop and mobile side-by-side. See [Preview Mode](/admin-guide/challenges/preview-mode).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Flip it live" icon="rocket">
    In the challenge, change **Status** to **Live** and save. Future-dated challenges automatically appear as **Scheduled**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Flip the community live" icon="globe">
    Back in **Community Settings -> Status**, pick **Live** and confirm. Nudj pops a confirmation dialog so you can't flip the wrong one by accident.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Invite people" icon="user-plus">
    Send people your community URL, or enable the embed/FAB. See [Users Overview](/admin-guide/user-management/overview).
  </Step>
</Steps>
