Use the guide

  • All chapters returns to the chapter list.
  • Jump to a tour stop goes directly to another question.
  • Collapse the instructions when you need more space for a diagram.
  • Exit guide closes the guide. Resume it from Explore Archflow.

The opening chapter asks three comprehension questions. Later stops use Mark explored & continue. Marking a stop records progress; it does not verify an external setup or assert that you changed the model.

The guide uses its sample version. If a step is unavailable, open the guide's evidence link and wait for that page to load. Troubleshooting explains the common blockers.

Experiment at your own pace

QuickBite is editable. Its automatic AI work is turned off, so an empty Documentation → Decisions inbox is expected. The core investigation works without AI credentials.

For your own work, create a small project, connect a coding agent, or import an archive. These options remain available without completing the tour.

In-app Archie uses the provider configured in Settings → Archie and AI for hosted accounts. In self-hosted organizations, an administrator configures organization AI. Installing coding-agent skills and connecting MCP are separate steps.
