Getting Started
Take a lab
Find a published lab, work through steps with Next and Prev, track progress, and continue learning on Stepwik.
This guide is for learners: people who open a published lab (or course) to follow it, not authors who create content in Studio.
A lab walks you through one task step by step. You open it on Stepwik Explore, a shared link, or an author/org portal subdomain.
Find a lab
| Where | What you get |
|---|---|
| Explore | Public labs and courses on Stepwik |
| Courses | Public course paths that group labs |
| Shared link | Direct URL such as /labs/{slug} or a *.stepwik.com portal link |
| Org / portal hub | Labs published on an author or organization subdomain |
Public labs are readable without signing in. Sign in if you want progress synced across devices, reader feedback, and My Progress / /my-progress.
Work through a lab
Open the lab cover
The cover shows the title, description, level, duration, and author. Primary actions:
- Start codelab — begin at the first step (no saved progress yet)
- Continue — resume where you left off
- Review lab — reopen a lab you already completed
Move between steps
Use Next and Prev at the bottom of the reader. The left sidebar lists every step; completed steps show a checkmark. On mobile, open the sections list from the bottom bar.
Mark steps complete
Use Mark section complete (check control) when you finish a step. You usually complete steps in order: the previous step must be complete before you can mark the next one.
Finish the lab
On the last step, finish the lab after the final section is complete. You will see a completion confirmation. You can return later with Review lab.
Courses and portals
- Courses group labs into an ordered path. Open a course, then start or continue each lab in sequence. Progress is tracked per lab inside the course.
- Portals (author or org
*.stepwik.comhubs) show that workspace’s published content. Same reader: cover → steps → Next / Prev.
See Courses and Domain and SEO.
Continue later
| Place | Best for |

Send feedback
If you are signed in, use Feedback on the lab reader (desktop social rail, also in fullscreen) to send a note about the current step. Authors triage messages in Studio. See Reader feedback.
