Indigo · HQ Field GuideAdmin setup path
Create the company foundation in the right order: install, set up HQ, prepare sync, create the company, and invite the first teammate.
Foundation
You establish the trusted base before anyone else syncs into it.
Install and set up HQ
Setup starts by answering one useful question: who are you, what company are you working for, and what do you do there?
Run the installer, complete setup prompts, keep the generated Documents/HQ workspace, and answer in role language rather than tool language.
Create company boundary
A company is the isolation boundary for context, policies, credentials, projects, workers, knowledge, and memory.
Run the create-company flow from the active HQ workspace, verify the generated manifest entry, and do not store secrets until the company name is correct.
Prepare sync and invite
Shared team gains come from one person's useful knowledge becoming available to the next person without collapsing company boundaries.
Run sync, resolve conflicts if any appear, then create the teammate invite from the active company and verify the pending member.
Keep the chapter executable.
Creates the company boundary, manifest entry, and workspace homes.
Confirms the company is cloud-backed and conflict-free before inviting teammates.
Starts the invite flow from the active company boundary.
What to keep in mind.
Setup order
Install HQ, set up HQ, set up sync, create the company, invite the first teammate.
Stop rule
