Start guide
Welcome to Tessel. This guide takes a new workspace from empty to a planned first loop in about fifteen minutes.
1. Create your workspace
Sign up with your work email. Tessel suggests a workspace name from your domain; you can rename it later under Workspace settings → General.
2. Add a team
Teams own tickets. Start with one team per group of people who plan work together. Give it a short key, like WEB or OPS — it prefixes every ticket key.
3. Bring your backlog
Import from a spreadsheet or another tracker (see Importing your backlog), or file your first tickets by hand with N.
4. Plan a loop
Turn on loops for the team and drag the tickets you mean to finish into the current one.
5. Invite teammates
Press G then S for settings, open Members and paste a list of addresses.
Everything in Tessel can be reached from the command bar. Press Cmd K and start typing.
