Create your DM account (self-service signup)

Demo environment · sample identity · backend responses are simulated. Self-service sign-up, and what happens next
This guide follows the real DM sign-in screen in sign-up mode and the verification page that follows, with simulated backend responses and a sample identity. Whether sign-up is offered, and whether email verification or access approval is required, depends on your organization's DM setup.

00:00–00:21 · open-signin

On screen: Open the DM sign-in screen. Click "Sign up". The next view is "Make room forbetter decisions." (/login). A highlight marks "Sign up".

Narrator: This is the DM sign-in screen.

Narrator: If you don't have an invitation, you may be able to create your own account.

Narrator: Self-service sign-up depends on how your organization's DM is set up, so it isn't offered everywhere.

Narrator: When it's available, you'll see a Sign up link under the form.

Narrator: Select Sign up.

00:21–00:43 · fill-form

On screen: Type "Nora New" into the "Display name (optional)" field. Type "new.member@example.test" into the "Email" field. Enter a password (at least 8 characters) in the "Password" field. The value is not shown or recorded. A highlight marks "Your name". A highlight marks "Your email". A highlight marks "A strong password".

Narrator: The form now asks for your name, your email address and a password.

Narrator: Use your own details. In this demonstration we use a sample identity, with an example address.

Narrator: Choose a strong password. It's hidden as you type.

Narrator: Double-check your email address, because that is where the verification link will be sent.

00:43–00:54 · submit

On screen: Click "Create account". The next view is "Verify your email" (/verify-email). A highlight marks "Create account".

Narrator: When you're ready, select Create account.

Narrator: DM doesn't assume you can start working straight away. It takes you to the next step instead.

00:54–01:19 · verify-notice

On screen: A highlight labelled "Verify your email" marks "Verify your email We sent a verification link to new.member@example.t…". A highlight labelled "Resend if it is missing" marks "Resend verification email".

Narrator: DM now asks you to verify your email.

Narrator: The page names the address your verification link was sent to.

Narrator: Open that link from your inbox to continue.

Narrator: If it doesn't arrive, use Resend verification email on this page.

Narrator: Depending on your organization's access policy, you may also need to wait for access to be approved before you can use everything.

01:19–01:44 · what-next

On screen: A highlight labelled "Your next step" marks "Verify your email We sent a verification link to new.member@example.t…".

Narrator: Once your email is verified and access is available, sign in to DM and check your active workspace.

Narrator: In this demonstration, the sign-up and its confirmation are simulated, so no real account or email was created.

Narrator: If you already have an account, use the sign-in form instead.

Narrator: Next, let's verify your email and sign in.
