The Get Started panel is a guided onboarding experience that appears automatically for users in their sidebar. It walks them through Langdock with tasks grouped by product area, a progress tracker, and a leaderboard to encourage early adoption. No action is required on your end unless you want to customize it.
How it works
Users see a Get Started button at the bottom of the left sidebar. Clicking it opens the full guide, where tasks are grouped by product area.
Each task can have a guided spotlight that shows the user exactly where to click. Spotlights only trigger when a user explicitly clicks the task’s start button. Nothing pops up automatically.
Completing a task earns points and triggers an achievement notification. Tasks only appear if the corresponding product is enabled for the workspace.
Appearance: The guide appears for any user in a workspace where it is enabled.
Auto-hide: The guide automatically hides 60 days after a user sends their first message. The timer resets if a user re-enables the guide after dismissing it.
Existing users: Users who have not yet sent a first message will not see an expiry until they do. Users who have already been active for more than 60 days will not see the guide unless they re-enable it from the guide itself.
Tasks and points
Tasks are grouped into sections based on product area:
| Section | What it covers |
|---|
| Chat | Core chat features including web search, data analysis, image generation, and Canvas |
| Prompt Library | Saving and using prompts |
| Agents | Creating, configuring, and using Agents |
| Projects | Creating and sharing Projects |
| Knowledge | Knowledge folders and sharing |
| Integrations | Connecting and tagging integrations |
| Skills | Creating and using Skills |
| Workflows | Creating, running, and publishing Workflows |
| Admin | Workspace setup tasks (visible to admins only) |
| Custom | Admin-created tasks with links to internal resources |
Leaderboard
The leaderboard ranks all workspace members by total points. Ties are broken by account creation date. It appears within the Get Started guide.
When anonymization is enabled, other users’ names and profile pictures are replaced with “Member.” Your own name and picture always remain visible to you.
If your workspace has leaderboards disabled at the workspace level, the leaderboard is automatically anonymized.
Individual users cannot hide themselves from the leaderboard. Only workspace-level anonymization is available.
Admin task section
The Admin section contains tasks related to workspace setup such as adding a workspace logo, inviting colleagues, and configuring models. This section is only visible to users with the admin role. Admin section points are not included in leaderboard scoring.
Enable or disable the guide
Admins can turn the Get Started guide on or off for the entire workspace.
Settings path: Settings, then Workspace, then Onboarding.
When disabled, the Get Started panel is hidden for all users in the workspace.
Anonymize the leaderboard
Admins can anonymize the leaderboard so other users’ names and profile pictures are hidden. Each user still sees their own name and rank.
Settings path: Settings, then Workspace, then Onboarding.
This option is only visible if leaderboards are enabled for the workspace.
Workspaces with leaderboards disabled at the workspace level have the leaderboard anonymized automatically.
Custom tasks
Admins can create their own onboarding tasks in addition to the built-in ones. Custom tasks are links. Users earn points for completing them by clicking the link.
Custom tasks do not support spotlights. They are link-only.
Maximum: 10 custom tasks per workspace.
Settings path: Settings, then Workspace, then Onboarding, then the Custom Tasks section.
Custom task fields
| Field | Required | Limit | Description |
|---|
| Title | Yes | 200 characters | The task name shown to users. |
| Link URL | Yes | | A valid HTTP or HTTPS URL. |
| Points | Yes | 0 to 100 | Points earned when the user completes the task. Default: 10. |
| Description | No | 500 characters | Optional context shown below the task title. |
| Section | No | | Where the task appears. Options: Chat, Agents, Admin, or Custom. Defaults to Custom. |
Examples of useful custom tasks
- A link to your internal AI usage policy
- A link to a list of approved use cases
- A link to a team-specific getting started guide
- A link to internal prompt templates or examples
Any user can hide the Get Started guide by clicking the three-dots menu next to the Get Started panel and selecting the option to hide it. The guide disappears from the sidebar.
To re-enable it, click the restore option that appears inside the guide when it is dismissed. This resets the 60-day timer from the point of reactivation.
Getting started
Create one or two custom tasks pointing to your most important internal resources: an AI usage policy, a list of approved use cases, or a getting-started guide specific to your team. It takes a few minutes and ensures every new user sees the right information from day one.
