This article will guide you to get started and ensure you get the very best out of our platform.

Here’s how to get started:

1️⃣ Invite teammates to be admins and/or managers →

You can invite other team members to help you with the process. Every account can only have one owner, and only the owner can invite other admins, or managers. Owners can also transfer account ownership to another admin. For more information, please visit this guide on How to create an admin or manager account and change access levels.

2️⃣ Invite your first contractor or employee →
Use Plane to manage the hiring and onboarding process of your workers. The whole process shouldn't take more than a couple of minutes for a contractor. For more information, please visit this quick guide on How to add a new contractor or How to hire and onboard an employee

3️⃣ Schedule your first payment →
