Getting started

Arrival

You’ll receive an email containing a link. It will take you to a short form:

  • Username – this is how others see you. You can change it at any time.
  • Profile picture – optional.
  • Newsletter – optional; occasional emails about new features.

Just click on Let's go, and you'll be taken to the organisation you've been invited to join.

!!! Info: "During the beta" Self-registration is not yet available. The Rhizome team sets up the first accounts for an organisation; the administration then invites further members.

What you see

On the left is the sidebar, and it’s organised by question – not where is something, but what do you need right now:

Inbox What’s happened since your last visit, sorted into sections]. A number shows how many items are unread.
Saved What you’ve bookmarked
Tasks What you need to do
Archive What’s been completed but remains available to view
Search Across everything: topics, posts, documents, tasks

These include your groups and project groups – that’s where you’ll find the Topics. By clicking on the workspace name in the top left-hand corner, you can access the Settings, log out, provide feedback and access this documentation.

Getting started

  1. Open a topic. Click on one of your groups and see what people are working on there.
  2. Post something. Each topic has a thread; that’s where the conversation takes place.
  3. Start your own topic as soon as you come across something that needs the group’s attention – see Create a new topic.

Everything else – documents, tasks, decisions – emerges from the conversation itself. You don’t need to organise it in advance.
