Once you're invited to the Officely app you'll notice the Officely app pop up on the left-hand side taskbar.

This is your homepage and dashboard. It's where you'll find everything you need about who's in the office and what's happening each week.

Within the Officely app, you'll find the Messages tab. There's a short introduction to Officely in there to help get you started.

Once you follow these steps you will then be taken to the page with the weekly schedule. This will be your Officely homepage from now on.

To book in, all you need to do is click Join.

You can then choose a Neighborhood, a desk, or a hot-desking area (depending on how your team has set up the desks).

To book an Extra, click on the three dots on the right-hand side and chose an Extra of preference!

All that's left to do is go ahead, pack your work bag, and go build some great relationships with your team!
