# Your first 20 minutes in Quely

Use this path to move from a new account to searchable, connected work.

## 1. Connect one work provider

Open **Connections** and connect Jira, Azure DevOps, GitHub, Linear, Wrike, monday.com, Trello, or Todoist.

## 2. Create a Space

Open **Spaces**, select **New**, enter the Space name, optionally invite members, and select **Create**. Quely opens the new Space in a new tab.

## 3. Add a Work Unit

Select **Add Unit** > **Work**, choose the connected provider, then hand-pick items or choose an available sync method.

## 4. Start a Thread

Open a Unit and post one useful question or update in **Threads**.

## 5. Ask Unit Orbit

Select **Ask Orbit** and ask a question grounded in that Unit, such as: 

| "What is missing before this work can start?"


## 6. Review Lenses

In Orbit's side rail, select **Lenses**. Review the available Decisions, Actions, Risks, Opportunities, Open Questions, and Next Steps.

## 7. Ask Home Orbit

Return to **Home** and ask a cross-Space question, or start with **Find**, **Draft**, or **Schedule**.

## What success looks like

You have one connected provider, one focused Space, real work in its Queue, a shared discussion, a Unit-scoped Orbit answer, and access to the global Home Orbit.
