# Quickstart Guide

> Get started with Veydra in minutes

## Create a New Model in Minutes

This quickstart follows the current in-app flow at [https://docs.veydra.io](https://docs.veydra.io) and shows how to create a model from the New Model page.

## Step 1: Open the New Model Page

Use either path:

* Click the plus button in the top navigation.
* Go directly to [https://docs.veydra.io/quickstart](https://docs.veydra.io/quickstart) for this guide and then open `/model/new` in the app.

<Note>
  If you are not signed in, the app will prompt you to create an account before model generation begins.
</Note>

## Step 2: Start from a Template or a Prompt

On `/model/new`, you can:

* Select a starter tile for common system patterns.
* Enter your own system description in the text box.

Use clear language about the system boundary, key variables, and the behavior you want to test.

## Step 3: Add Optional Supplemental Files

In the dotted upload area you can drag-and-drop or browse files to improve generation quality.

Common attachments:

* XMILE model files
* PDFs with assumptions or equations
* CSV/XLSX datasets

## Step 4: Generate the Model

Click submit to start model creation. Veydra will:

* Create a new model (and project when needed)
* Upload your supplemental files
* Open the auto-generate flow

## Step 5: Review and Refine

After generation, continue in these pages:

* Model settings page (`/model/:id/edit`) to refine metadata, repository settings, files, and activities
* Playground (`/model/:id/:mode`) to run simulations and test behavior
