The first time a new account owner logs in, Scanova redirects them into a 4-step wizard at `/onboarding` before they ever see the main dashboard — its whole purpose is to get one QR code created before you're left to explore on your own. This page's redirect trigger (`first_login`) is per-account and only ever true once, so it couldn't be re-triggered live on the shared test account used to verify the rest of this documentation project — that account had already completed its first login long before this page was written. Every step below **was verified live** by navigating directly to `/onboarding` (the route itself has no additional gate beyond being logged in) and completing the flow start to finish; only the automatic redirect-on-first-login behavior itself is documented from source rather than observed. ## Who sees this, and why Per the app's own routing logic (`lib/next-path.ts`), the wizard only applies to a genuinely new **account owner** — a teammate accepting a shared-user invitation trips the same underlying `first_login` flag on their first login too, but is deliberately exempted, since the wizard assumes permissions (like creating a QR code) that a Viewer or other restricted role may not hold. A newly-invited teammate goes straight to the dashboard instead. If profile completion is still outstanding, that gate takes priority — the wizard only appears after your profile is complete. ## Step 1 — Choose The wizard opens on a personalized welcome ("Welcome, \{name}! Let's create your first QR Code.") with three starting points, matching the same three options available everywhere else in the app (see [Quick Code vs. full Page](/qr-codes/create/quick-code-vs-page)): Onboarding wizard step 1, Choose, showing the heading 'Welcome, Docs! Let's create your first QR Code.' and three cards: Quick Code (Website URL), Choose a Template (labeled Popular), and Build with AI (labeled AI-Powered) * **Quick Code** — a direct-action QR code, e.g. **Website URL**. * **Choose a Template** (labeled **Popular**) — a pre-designed page layout (Business Card, Custom Page, and more). * **Build with AI** (labeled **AI-Powered**) — describe what you need and let AI generate the page content. A top progress indicator (**1 Choose → 2 Create → 3 Configure → 4 Design & Finish**) tracks your position throughout, and a **Visit Dashboard** link in the top right lets you skip the wizard entirely at any point. ## Step 2 — Create Selecting a starting point opens its type-specific creation form. For **Website URL** (the path verified here), this is a single field asking for the destination URL, with a live QR code preview rendering on the right as you type: Onboarding wizard step 2, Create, showing an 'Enter your website URL' form with an https:// prefixed input and a live QR code preview panel ## Step 3 — Configure Next, name the QR code and choose its short URL: Onboarding wizard step 3, Configure, showing a QR Code name field defaulted to 'My QR Code', a Short URL domain picker set to scnv.io with an auto-generated slug and a Customize option, a GPS location tracking toggle, and a Create QR Code button * **QR Code name** — defaults to "My QR Code" if left blank. * **Short URL** — defaults to `scnv.io` with an auto-generated slug; select **Customize** to pick your own. * **GPS location tracking** — an optional toggle to collect precise scan location (requires the visitor's permission at scan time). Selecting **Create QR Code** shows a brief "Generating your QR Code…" state, then advances to the final step. ## Step 4 — Design & Finish The last step confirms success with a celebratory confetti animation and your finished, scannable QR code: Onboarding wizard step 4, Design and Finish, showing a confetti animation, the heading 'Congratulations, [name]! Your QR Code is ready.', an optional design picker, a real QR code image, Test your QR and Download QR buttons, and a Continue to plans button From here: * **Choose a design (optional)** — apply a visual style before downloading. * **Test your QR** — opens the destination in a new tab, the same way a scan would. * **Download QR** — downloads the QR code image. * **Continue to plans** — the final action, which moves you into the main app (a note on-screen reminds you the design can also be changed later from the dashboard). ## Related * [Quick Code vs. full Page](/qr-codes/create/quick-code-vs-page) — the same three starting points, available at any time from `/qr/create`, not just during onboarding. * [Classic to New UI](/onboarding/classic-to-new-ui) — a separate, one-time account-level decision, unrelated to this wizard.
