Guide is the corner checklist in the admin: a verified setup checklist, optional journeys (short teach-do steps), and How it works concept cards. It complements this Help library and the Assist AI chat — use Guide when you want the next action inside the CMS without reading long docs.
New to Birkly? Open Guide (question icon above Assist). The panel auto-opens once on your first admin visit. After that, use the launcher anytime; a pulse on the button means there is a tip for the page you are on.
