# Quickstart

> Get oriented in Invariant in five minutes.

## 1. Sign in

Your organization administrator provisions your account and role. Sign in with your credentials;
electronic-signature actions re-verify your credential at the point of signing.

## 2. Find your work

The **Dashboard** shows the vital signs of your quality system — open deviations, pending CAPAs,
overdue training, and documents awaiting review — with closure-time metrics where enabled.

## 3. Run the core loop

Invariant is built around one enforced quality-event lifecycle:

<Steps>
  <Step title="Raise a deviation">See [Raise a deviation](/invariant/how-to/raise-a-deviation).</Step>
  <Step title="Investigate & document root cause">Structured RCA (5-Whys / Fishbone).</Step>
  <Step title="Open a linked CAPA">Corrective/preventive actions with owners and evidence.</Step>
  <Step title="Verify effectiveness & close">Independent approver signs off; the record closes.</Step>
</Steps>

## 4. Everything is audited

Every controlled change is captured in the tamper-evident audit trail with who, what, when, and why.
See [Audit Trail](/invariant/compliance/audit-trail-tamper-evidence).

## 5. Get help in the product

When the `help-center` feature is enabled for your organization, open **Help** from the sidebar to
browse page guides, how-to articles, reference material, and compliance context without leaving
Invariant. The in-app Help Center complements this documentation portal.
