Getting Started

The fastest path from a new account to your first AI answer about your own material.

How to sign up

1. Go to /signup.
2. Enter your name, email, and a password, or continue with Google.
3. Click Create Account. You land on the Camp Dashboard at /camp, no setup wizard in between.

How to create your first workspace

Everything in Studycamp starts with a workspace: a dedicated space for one subject or project.

1. Go to /camp/workspaces.
2. Click Create Workspace.
3. Name it (for example “Biology 101”) and click it to open it.

How to upload a file and start studying

1. Inside the workspace, upload a PDF, DOCX, or other document.
2. Wait for it to finish indexing (a status pill on the file shows Ready). See File Indexing if it seems stuck.
3. Click Start Study Session to open the file next to the AI tools.
4. Ask a question in Chat, or generate a summary, quiz, or flashcard deck. See Study Sessions.

What you should see

A study session open with your file on one side and a Chat panel on the other, ready to answer questions about that specific document.

Good to know

• Free accounts get 3 workspaces and 1 study session per workspace. Upgrade for unlimited, see Billing & Payments.
• Once you’re set up, visit /camp/settings for theme and language, and Backpack to pin the productivity tools you’ll use most.
• Press Ctrl+J (or Cmd+J) anywhere to jump to any page. See Command Menu.

If it doesn’t work

Upload finishes but Chat says it has nothing to work with: the file is still indexing. Check its status in File Indexing.

“Workspace limit reached”: Free is capped at 3 workspaces. Delete an unused one or upgrade to Pro Student.
