## **Getting Started Step-by-Step**

To start using the **Elven Platform**, first go to the platform’s **official website**. In the top menu, you’ll find the options **Free Trial (Teste Gratuito)** or **Access Platform (Acessar Plataforma)** — click on either one to proceed.

If you don’t have an account yet, on the **login page**, select the **Sign Up** option to create your account. You’ll need to fill in some basic information, such as a **corporate email**, your **full name**, and a **secure password**. To ensure your account’s protection, create a password that follows a few simple rules: it must be at least **8 characters** long, include **uppercase and lowercase letters**, contain at least **one number** (0–9), and include a **special character**, such as **!@#$%\*&**. Ideally, choose a **unique and hard-to-guess password**, as your account’s security is a top priority.

After filling in all the fields, click **Sign Up** to continue. In the next step, you’ll be asked to provide a **name for your organization** within the platform. Additionally, it’s important to read and accept the **Terms and Conditions** by checking the corresponding box. When you’re done, click **Start Now** to complete this initial setup.

To **activate your account**, go to the email you used during registration and find the **confirmation message** sent by the Elven Platform. Open the email and click the **confirmation link** to finish the activation process. With that, your account will be active and ready to use.

Now, you can start exploring the **modules and features** of the Elven Platform, taking full advantage of all the available resources to enhance your experience.

## **Accessing the Elven Platform**

If you already have an account on the **Elven Platform**, you can log in directly from the **home screen**. To ensure the **security** of your access, we have a few important guidelines:

* **Login attempts**: You have up to **10 attempts** to enter your credentials correctly. If you exceed this limit, your access will be **temporarily blocked**.
* **Session timeout**: If your account remains **inactive for 5 minutes**, the session will be **automatically ended** for security reasons.
* **Additional security**: Depending on the **security tools** enabled, you may be required to solve a **captcha** before proceeding with the login.
* **SSO (Single Sign-On)**: If your company uses **SSO login**, you don’t need to access the platform’s login screen. Simply go directly to your **identity provider**, then access the Elven Platform through the appropriate link.
* **Need help?** If your account is **locked due to multiple failed attempts**, please contact our **support team**, providing your **access IP**, so we can quickly unlock it.

## **How to Update Your Password**

To change your password on the **Elven Platform**, start by visiting the platform’s **official website** and, on the **login page**, click the **Forgot Password** link to begin the recovery process. Then, enter your **corporate email** associated with your account and click the **Reset Password** button to send the reset request.

You will receive an **email** with a **link** to continue the process — just click **Click here** to open the **password reset page**. There, enter your **new password** and confirm it in the designated field to ensure they match. Then, finish by clicking the **Reset Password** button to save the change.

Finally, return to the **login page**, enter your **access email** and the **new password** you just created, and click **Sign In** to securely access your account.

**All set!** Your password has been successfully changed, and you are now logged into the **Elven Platform** with your new password.

## **Accessing an Existing Organization**

To switch organizations in the **Elven Platform**, start by logging into your account as usual.

In the **dropdown menu** that appears, select the **Switch organization** option.

Next, you’ll see a field where you can choose an **existing organization** that your account is already part of. If you’re not yet linked to any organization or want to start a **new workspace**, this same screen also offers the option to **register a new organization**.

After selecting the desired organization, click the **Login** button to access the **new context**. With just a few clicks, you can switch organizations and navigate within a different context inside the **Elven Platform**, with all the **data and settings** of that organization available for use.
