# Take the welcome tour

The welcome tour is a short slideshow that explains what Reliquary is, in six steps. It takes about a minute.

## When it opens

The first time you sign in, Reliquary opens the tour once, before Home. If you were invited to a vault, it opens after you accept the invite. Accounts that existed before the tour was added don't see it by themselves.

You can open it again any time: choose your account menu, then **Welcome tour**.

## Move through it

Each step is one page.

1. Choose **Next** to go on and **Back** to return. The dots show where you are, and each dot is a link to that step.
2. Choose **Skip** to leave the tour. Reliquary won't open it by itself again.
3. On the last step, choose **Get started**. You go to Home, or to **New vault** if you're not in a vault yet.

Finishing and skipping do the same thing: they record that you've seen the tour, in your account only. Your agents can't read or change that.
