New members see a Get started card at the top of Home in the app. It lists five things that make Zinola useful, and ticks each one off as you do it.
The five steps

|---|---|
| Choose where you live | Opens the area picker. See Set or change your area. |
| Join a circle | Takes you to circles near you. See Find and join a circle. |
| Ask or post something | Opens the composer. See Ask your neighbors a question. |
| Thank a neighbor | Shows the Recommendations in your feed, so you can thank someone. |

Common questions
How do I remove the Get started card on Zinola?
Tap the ✕ on the card. It stays hidden on that phone, and it also goes away once all five steps are done.
Why is a step on the Zinola checklist not ticked?
Each tick comes from what you have actually done, such as joining a circle. If notifications are off on your phone, that step stays open.
Do I have to finish the Get started checklist?
No. It is only a guide. You can hide it and use Zinola as normal.
