## [1. Create an account](#access)

[Create an account](https://dolaai.pro/signup) for free. New accounts get access straight away while launch spots are open; when they are full you join a short waitlist and get in as spots open. Then sign in on dolaai.pro.

## [2. Download the Dola app](#install)

Platforms, the UE 5.7 plugin zip, and the in-app install button are spelled out in [Install and prerequisites](https://dolaai.pro/docs/install). Signed-in users with access download the desktop app for Windows or Linux from Releases.

## [3. Connect Unreal](#unreal)

Attach the project, install the plugin, open the editor. Step-by-step: [Connect an Unreal project](https://dolaai.pro/docs/connect-unreal-project). Plugin internals: [Unreal Engine plugin](https://dolaai.pro/docs/unreal-plugin).

## [4. Ask for real editor work](#ask)

Stay in game-dev mode for Blueprints and C++. First passes: [Blueprint workflow](https://dolaai.pro/docs/first-blueprint) · [C++ assistance](https://dolaai.pro/docs/first-cpp).
