Steps to Create your App

1. Creation of your Muse mBaaS App

The creation and upkeep of your app are done in one interface: the back office. 

The back office allows you to add content to your app, to customize the design, and to interact with your users once the app is published.

When you create your Muse mBaaS project and access your back office, a "Get started" onboarding menu will be available from the bottom right of your back office.

The "Get started" menu shows you how to handle the main steps of your app creation.
Each step is introduced with an explanation text, the path to access the right menu in your back office and a video tutorial.
It will help you get familiar with the platform quickly. 

"Get started" menu button will become a link to Muse mBaaS help center when you've read it fully, or if you've published your PWA (Standard plan), or published the iOS or Android version of your app (Premium / Pro plans).
