Use this guide when you want to go from a fresh account to the current LabScribe workflow without guessing how the app is organized.

​
Before you begin

You should know which mode you want to start in:
  • Personal Space if you are working alone or evaluating the notebook flow
  • Lab workspace if you need shared projects, team collaboration, inventory, bookings, or workspace billing
  1. Create your account and sign in.
  2. Let LabScribe provision your Personal Space and default personal project.
  3. Open that project and create your first experiment.
  4. Add a title, status, and tags, then begin writing in the structured notebook.
  5. If collaboration is real, create or join a Lab workspace.
  6. In the Lab workspace, create the projects your team will actually use.
  7. Configure team roles and invitation rules before inviting people.
  8. Invite teammates only after you are clear which workspace they should belong to.
  9. If the lab uses them, set up inventory items and instrument bookings inside the Lab workspace.

​
What you will see in the app

After setup, the current app is organized around:
  • Home, Recents, and Projects for getting back into work
  • structured experiment notebooks inside each project
  • Activity, version history, and mentions
  • Lab-only surfaces for Inventory, Bookings, and Team

​
What to configure first

​
For an individual researcher

  • Keep your early work in Personal Space
  • Create a few experiments in the default personal project
  • Validate the notebook flow before inviting anyone
  • Upgrade to Plus only if you need the higher personal limits and sharing options

​
For a lab lead

  • Create a Lab workspace with the right name and color
  • Decide who needs owner, admin, member, or viewer access
  • Choose the default invite role and whether members can invite others
  • Invite only the people who should consume seats
  • Create clean project boundaries before the workspace becomes crowded
  • Add inventory and booking structure once the operational team is using the workspace

​
What success looks like

After a good first setup, you should have:
  • one clearly named Personal Space or Lab workspace
  • one or more projects with clean scopes
  • one real experiment notebook with structured content
  • one owner who understands how invitations and seats work
  • a clear decision about whether the work belongs in Personal Space or a Lab workspace
