Getting Started Guides

Welcome to the Getting Started with Smartcat section of our Help Center. Each guide here walks you through Smartcat from the point of view of your role or your team, so you see the features, settings and workflows that matter to you first, instead of everything at once.

How to use this section

1. Start with your role. Read the Administrator, Teammate or In-House Reviewer guide first. It explains what you can access and the tasks you will do most often.

2. Then read the guide for your department. It shows how Smartcat handles the content your team works with every day, from campaigns and courses to product data and help-center articles.

3. Follow the links for detail. Every guide links to the Help Center articles with full step-by-step instructions, so you can go deeper whenever you need to.
