# Getting started
> Your first 5 minutes with Denada
Welcome to Denada! This guide walks you through everything you need to go from signing up to exporting your first email. The whole process takes just a few minutes.
## Sign up or log in
Head to [app.heydenada.com](https://app.heydenada.com) and enter your email address — Denada emails you a short code to sign in, no password needed. Enterprise teams can also set up [single sign-on](/team/sso-setup).
## Create or join a team
After signing in, you will either land on an existing team or be prompted to create one. A team is your shared workspace where projects, images, and libraries live.
* **Create a team** -- give it a name, invite colleagues by email, and you are ready to go.
* **Join a team** -- there is no separate "accept" step. If a teammate has invited you, just sign in with the same email address the invitation was sent to and you will land on the team automatically. (If the invite went to a different address than the one you use, ask your teammate to re-send it to the right one.)
You can always invite more people later from the team settings page.
## Upload your first images
Before you start creating, it helps to have a few brand images on hand. Open the image library from the left sidebar and upload logos, product photos, or lifestyle images.
1. Click **Images** in the sidebar.
2. Drag and drop files or click **Upload** to browse your computer.
3. Add descriptions so Denada can find and use them in your projects.
Images you upload are available across every chat and project in your team.

## Create your first project
The fastest way to create an email is through a conversation with Denada.
1. Click **+ New** in the top-right corner and choose **New project**.
2. If your team has multiple libraries, select which library to use.
3. You will land on a "What would you like to make?" screen. The more context you give Denada, the better the result — you can type a prompt, attach a creative brief or reference images, paste a URL, or use voice input.
4. Denada will generate a draft and show you a live preview. Keep chatting to refine the copy, layout, or tone until you are happy with the result.
If you prefer to skip the chat and build manually, click **Skip and go to editor**.
Denada works best with context. Uploading a creative brief, attaching reference images, or pasting a URL alongside your prompt will produce a much better first draft.

## Refine in the editor
As you chat, Denada builds your project and it appears in the preview area on the left side of the screen. Chat and the editor live side by side in the same project view, so there is no separate "save" step.
Switch to the other sidebar tabs to make precise adjustments:
* **Edit** -- edit individual blocks and their parameters (text, images, buttons, colors).
* **Variations** -- generate multiple versions of your project, like translations or versions for different audiences.
* **Comments** -- leave comments for your team.
* **Options** -- access project settings and version history.
You can also switch between desktop and mobile preview modes.

## Export or share
Once your project is finalized, click the **Share** button in the editor toolbar. From there you can:
* **Publish to web** and share a preview link so stakeholders can review and comment without a Denada account.
* **Send a proof email** to test how your email looks in real inboxes.
* **Export** as an image, PDF, ZIP, CSV, or to Figma.
* **Copy or save the HTML** for pasting directly into your email service provider.
* **Export to a connected platform** like Iterable, Braze, or HubSpot.
