# Onboarding and Workspace Setup

After successfully signing up and verifying your email, new users are guided through a **simple 3-step onboarding process** to configure their personal profile and organization workspace. This process ensures your **free trial is activated**, and your environment is ready for performance testing. A visual progress indicator at the top of the screen helps you track your completion status.
