# Help in the app, the Get started list and guided tours > Use the ? icons beside controls, the Get started list on your dashboard and the guided tours, and start, resume or replay a tour from Help. Source: https://www.chirpbuilder.com/help/support/help-in-the-app Plans: Essentials, Creator, Business, Academy Last checked: 2026-10-28 When you're done, you know where to find quick help while you work, and how to take, pause and replay a guided tour. **Who this is for:** everyone. The ? icons are on every page. The **Get started** list and the tours are for account owners with a plan, in their own [workspace](https://www.chirpbuilder.com/help/start-here/glossary#workspace). Students get their own short tour on the course pages. ## The ? icons A small ? sits beside many labels and buttons. Point at it, tab to it, or tap it on a phone, and it says in a sentence or two what that control does (1). **Learn more** (2) opens the guide about it in a new tab, so nothing you're editing is lost. ![Garden Helper's editor with the ? beside 2. Instructions opened: a small panel (1) says what the instructions do, with Learn more (2) under it.](https://mjmtbasmrtksluvlnema.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/help-media/web-optimized/support/help-in-the-app/SS-HELP-020-01__help-popover__essentials__desktop__v01.webp?v=42be90d40e) Press Escape, click somewhere else or move away to close it. ## The Get started list On your dashboard, **Get started** lists the first things to do, with how many are done, for example "0 of 5 done": - **Connect your OpenRouter key** - **Create your first Chirp** - **Publish a Chirp as Unlisted or Public** - **Share a Chirp and get your first visitor chat** - With Creator, Business or Academy: **Make a Collection**. With Business, also **Add a workspace for a client or project**. With Academy, also **Make your first course**. ![Rosa's Get started list, 0 of 5 done: Connect your OpenRouter key, Create your first Chirp, Publish a Chirp as Unlisted or Public, Share a Chirp and get your first visitor chat, and Make a Collection, each with a button, the shortcuts I'm moving an existing GPT and I'm building my first Chirp, then Start guided tour (1), Do it myself (2) and Show this again later (3).](https://mjmtbasmrtksluvlnema.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/help-media/web-optimized/support/help-in-the-app/SS-HELP-020-02__get-started__creator__detail__v01.webp?v=feadb0bc33) A step is ticked when your account has really done it, not when you've visited a page. Each open step has a button to the right page. Until you have a Chirp, two shortcuts are there too: **I'm moving an existing GPT** opens Import, and **I'm building my first Chirp** opens a new Chirp. Under the list: - **Start guided tour** (1): see [Take a guided tour](https://www.chirpbuilder.com/help/support/help-in-the-app#take-a-guided-tour). - **Do it myself** (2): hides the list. "Hidden. Tours are always in Help." - **Show this again later** (3): hides it until tomorrow. "We'll show this again tomorrow." The list goes away by itself once every step is done. ## Take a guided tour A tour walks you through the real pages. Each step points at a control with an outline and a small card beside it: "Step 2 of 8", what the control is for, and **Learn more** (1). Use **Next** (2) and **Back** to move, or **Skip tour**. The last step has **Finish**. ![Step 2 of 8 of the tour Get your first Chirp live on Rosa's Settings page: the AI provider: OpenRouter card is outlined, and a card beside it says Connect your AI, with Learn more (1), Skip tour, Back and Next (2).](https://mjmtbasmrtksluvlnema.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/help-media/web-optimized/support/help-in-the-app/SS-HELP-020-03__tour-step__creator__desktop__v01.webp?v=3e171795e3) - **A tour only points things out.** It never saves, sends, invites or publishes anything for you. - **It opens the right page itself.** On steps about a Chirp, it opens the one you're editing, or your most recently changed one. - **If the control isn't there,** for example before you've made a Chirp, the card shows in the middle of the screen with "You'll find this on a Chirp's page once you've made one." You can carry on. - **Close it any time** with the X or Escape. Your place is kept. - On a phone, the card sits at the bottom of the screen. The tours: - **Get your first Chirp live** (every plan): the dashboard, your [OpenRouter](https://www.chirpbuilder.com/help/start-here/glossary#openrouter) key, creating, testing, knowledge, publishing, sharing, and where help is. - **Creator tools** (Creator, Business and Academy): workspaces, [Collections](https://www.chirpbuilder.com/help/start-here/glossary#collection), who can chat, lead forms and leads. - **Client work** (Business): a workspace per client, your team, and handing a workspace over. - **Your Academy** (Academy): your Academy, courses, lessons, the tutor, quizzes and trying a course as a student. The plan tours are best after **Get your first Chirp live**. When your plan changes, a tour you haven't taken shows on the **Get started** list as "New for your plan", with **Start this tour**. It never starts by itself, and tours you've finished stay finished. ## Start, resume or replay a tour from Help Open **Help** in the menu. **Guided tours** lists the tours for your plan, each with where you are, for example "Stopped at step 4 of 8", and a button: **Start**, **Resume (step 4)** or **Replay**. ![The Guided tours card on Rosa's Help page: Get your first Chirp live, Stopped at step 4 of 8, with Resume (step 4), and Creator tools with Start.](https://mjmtbasmrtksluvlnema.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/help-media/web-optimized/support/help-in-the-app/SS-HELP-020-04__guided-tours__creator__detail__v01.webp?v=aa25accf6b) If you hid the **Get started** list and it isn't finished, **Show the Get started list on the dashboard again** brings it back. In a workspace someone shared with you, tours use your own workspace: "Tours use your own workspace. Switch to it in the menu to take one." ## For students On an Academy's course pages, students see "New here? Take a quick tour" the first time, with **Take the tour** and **No thanks**, and a **Take a tour** button after that. The tour shows the lessons, the tutor, quizzes and certificates. Their browser remembers it, as they have no Chirp Builder account. ![The offer in the corner of a student's My courses page at Nora's Baking School: New here? Take a quick tour, with Take the tour and No thanks.](https://mjmtbasmrtksluvlnema.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/help-media/web-optimized/support/help-in-the-app/SS-HELP-020-05__student-offer__academy__detail__v01.webp?v=dbaaebac48) ## Good to know - **The help text comes from these guides' own records,** so a ? and its guide say the same thing. - **Nothing here costs anything.** Tours don't send messages to your Chirps or use your OpenRouter key.
