#### **Getting Started**

First, you'll want to start a new project. To do this, simply click the "**New Sketch**" button, which you can find in the top right corner of the screen. [                     [00:04](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RIevm_W5Agc&t=4)                       ]

#### **Adding Details and Setting Permissions**

Once you've created a new sketch, it's a good idea to give it a **title and a clear description**. This will help your team members quickly understand what the sketch is about.

If you want your team to be able to see the design but not make any changes, you can set the permissions to "**viewers**."

#### **Designing Your Sketch**

Now for the fun part! You can start designing your sketch by adding different shapes, like circles and squares. If you want to add text to a shape, just double-click inside of it. [                     [00:47](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RIevm_W5Agc&t=47)                       ] To connect different objects, you can use the **connector arrow**. When you hover over an object, you'll see an aura appear. This means you can click and drag to connect it to another object. [                     [01:18](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RIevm_W5Agc&t=78)                       ] The arrow will stay connected even if you move the objects around. [                     [01:30](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RIevm_W5Agc&t=90)                       ]

#### **Personalizing and Saving**

To make your sketch even clearer, you can **personalize the objects with different colors**. [                     [01:36](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RIevm_W5Agc&t=96)                       ] You can also add text to the arrows to give more context to the connections you've made. [                     [02:28](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RIevm_W5Agc&t=148)                       ] Once you're happy with your design, don't forget to click the **save** button to finalize your sketch.
