# Getting Started with Affinity

Welcome to Affinity.

The Getting Started library starts with **Tier 0 (Setup & Pre-flight)** — the workspace setup motions you complete before diving into Tier 1 — then progresses from Foundation to Mastery.

Brand-new to Affinity? Begin with Tier 0.

Already set up? Start at Tier 1, or jump to a later tier if you're comfortable with the basics. Move through it at your own pace.

## Before you start — Setup & Pre-flight

<Card title="Tier 0: Setup & Pre-flight" icon="user-gear" href="/s/article/Tier-0-setup-and-pre-flight">
  **5 tutorials.** Set up your account, connect your inbox and calendar, plan your data migration, import your existing data, and invite your team. Required for brand-new workspaces; skip if your admin has already done these.
