# Quickstart

> Set up Driftmark and run your first snapshot.

# Quickstart

This guide gets a new workspace from zero to the first snapshot.

## 1. Create a workspace

After sign-up, create a workspace from the onboarding flow.

You will provide:

* workspace name
* optional URL slug
* usage type:
  * `self` for monitoring your own organization
  * `msp` for monitoring multiple client tenants

## 2. Add your first Microsoft tenant

Go to:

`Settings -> Integrations -> Microsoft`

Then choose **Add tenant** and provide:

* tenant ID
* client ID
* client secret
* optional label

Driftmark validates the credentials immediately and stores the connection.

## 3. Create a snapshot template

Still in the Microsoft integrations area, create a template that enables the controls you want to monitor.

Templates define the scope of each snapshot. They also determine the Microsoft Graph application permissions your app registration must have.

## 4. Assign the template to the tenant

Open the tenant configuration page and select the template in the **Template** section.

Without a selected template, snapshot runs will be blocked.

## 5. Run the first snapshot

From either:

* the Microsoft integrations page
* the tenant detail page

run a snapshot manually.

Your first successful snapshot establishes the first historical record for that tenant. After that, later snapshots can be compared for drift.

## 6. Review results

Open the snapshot to review:

* overview
* inventory
* drift status
* JSON export

## 7. Configure ongoing automation

Once the first snapshot is working, configure:

* a snapshot schedule per tenant
* optional report schedules, if your plan supports them

This lets Driftmark continue collecting evidence and generating reports on an ongoing basis.
