Getting started

1. Create your account

Open your NovuHub address and choose Create account. You will receive a verification email; the link in it confirms your address and signs you in. If your company uses single sign-on you will see a Sign in with … button instead — use it, no password is needed.

Passwords must be at least 12 characters and cannot be a common password or contain your name or email address. You can enable two-factor authentication (authenticator app) under Settings → Security at any time.

2. Join or create a workspace

A workspace is one company's data. If you were invited, the invite link drops you straight into the workspace with the sections your administrator chose for you. Otherwise you create a workspace, give it a name and you are its first administrator.

A sample data set is available under Settings → Data → Reset to sample data so you can explore every section before adding real work.

3. Find your way around

• The sidebar groups everything by function: Home (dashboard, inbox, My Day), Projects, Sales, People, Finance, Sustainability, Knowledge, Messages, Support and Admin. Administrators switch modules on and off under Settings → General → Modules.
• ⌘K / Ctrl-K opens the command palette: jump to any section, task, project, contact, deal, doc or ticket, or run an action such as New task.
• My Day is your personal start page: focus list, timer, today's meetings and the emails triaged for you.
• The bell shows assignments, mentions, approvals and reminders. The avatars next to it show who is online right now.
• The ? button in the bottom-right corner opens Help & feedback: search the help topics, open the guide, replay the tour, or send a question, bug report or idea to your support team.

4. Set your preferences

Under Settings → General you can choose your language (English, Deutsch, Español, Français, 中文), time zone, working hours, theme (light/dark) and density. Dates, times and numbers follow the language and time zone you pick; each person in the workspace can have their own.

5. Invite your team

Use ➕ Invite on the Directory or Team page to share a join link, or + Add Employee to add someone directly and tick the sections they may use. Nobody enters through a link until an administrator approves the join request from the bell. Roles are Administrator, Team leader and Team member; access requests and per-person section access are managed under Settings → Access.

6. Bring in your data

• Tasks and projects can be created from the board, from a template, from a mind map, from an email or through the REST API.
• Contacts, deals and invoices support CSV import from their toolbars.
• Finance imports bank statements (CSV) and reads supplier invoices from a mailbox automatically (Settings → Integrations → Mailbox).
• Documents (SOPs, policies, knowledge-base articles) are written in the built-in editor or uploaded as files.
