# Quickstart

> Set up your workspace and publish your first release in a few minutes.

Onset gives you three places to communicate with customers: a **release notes** feed, a **roadmap**, and an in-app **widget**. They all share the same public page.

## Create your workspace

<Steps>
  <Step title="Sign up">
    Create an account at [app.onset.io](https://app.onset.io/signup). No credit card required.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Name your workspace">
    Your workspace name and slug decide your default public URL: `yourslug.onset.io`. You can change both later in **Settings → Workspace → General**, and point a [custom domain](/page/custom-domains) at it.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Invite your team">
    Go to **Settings → Workspace → Members** and invite teammates. See [Team members](/guides/team-members) for what each role can do.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Publish your first release

<Steps>
  <Step title="Create a release">
    From the dashboard, go to **Releases → New release**. Give it a title and write the body. See [Writing releases](/guides/releases/writing).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add structure (optional)">
    Add a [version number](/guides/releases/versioning), [labels](/guides/labels), a [project](/guides/projects), or [contributors](/guides/releases/contributors).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Publish">
    Publish immediately or [schedule](/guides/releases/publishing) it. In the publish dialog you can also notify subscribers by email and post to Slack or Discord.
  </Step>
</Steps>

Your release is now live on your public page, in your RSS/JSON [feeds](/guides/page/feeds), and in the [widget](/developers/widget/overview) if you've installed it.
