Quickstart

Getting from zero to a published lab takes just a few minutes. You'll sign up for a free account, open Stepwik Studio, build a lab by adding titled steps and content, then publish and share a link. No credit card, no configuration needed.

1. 1

   Sign up for a free account

   Go to stepwik.com/signup and create your account using your email address or Google. Your free account includes unlimited labs, subdomain publishing, and basic analytics. No credit card required.

2. 2

   Open Stepwik Studio

   After signing in, you land in Stepwik Studio, your authoring workspace. This is where you create, organize, and manage all your labs and courses. Open Labs, then click Create Lab to begin (or Generate with AI if you prefer a draft from GitHub, PDF, or Google Slides).

   If you belong to an organization, switch workspaces from the Studio org switcher before you create anything so ownership stays correct.

3. 3

   Create your first lab

   Give your lab a title that clearly describes what the learner will accomplish (for example, "Deploy your first API in 10 minutes"). Then use Add Step to create the steps that make up your lab. Each step gets its own title and content area.

   Tips for a good first lab

   • Keep it under 10-15 minutes of learner time
   • One outcome per step
   • Prefer code blocks and checklists over long paragraphs
   • Open with context (goals and prerequisites); end with a summary
4. 4

   Add content to each step

   Click into any step to open the editor. The editor works like a Notion-style rich text environment. Type prose, insert code blocks with syntax highlighting, add images or videos, and format with Markdown shortcuts. Work through each step until your lab is complete.

5. 5

   Publish and share your lab

   When your lab is ready, click Publish. Stepwik assigns your lab a URL under your subdomain (for example, yourname.stepwik.com/your-lab-title). Copy the link and share it anywhere: in docs, emails, Slack, or social media.

   On the free plan, published labs are Public. Unlisted and Private visibility require Pro or above. While drafting, keep the lab unpublished so only you and co-authors see it in Studio.
