Set up your workspace and first project

The four setup steps after you sign up: workspace, first project, tools and add-ins.

After you sign up, Mosaic opens with "Welcome to Mosaic." Choose "Get started", or press Enter, and follow four short steps.

  1. Name your workspace. Enter a "Workspace name" and, if you like, upload an icon (PNG, JPG or WebP, up to 5 MB). Choose "Continue".
  2. Create your first project. Enter a "Project name", add "Topics" (they seed your daily briefing of new papers) and pick a "Colour". Choose "Continue".
  3. Connect your tools. Connect Zotero or Mendeley to import your library, and Google Docs or Microsoft Word for your documents. Each is optional; choose "Continue" when you are done.
  4. Add Mosaic to your browser and documents: "Add to Chrome", "Get the add-on" for Google Docs and "Get the add-in" for Word. Then choose "Enter Mosaic".

You land on your project's Overview. Anything you skipped can be done later from Settings. If you joined through an invitation, you skip these steps and go straight to the workspace.
