If you're in a guided workshop

If you're taking this tutorial at a guided workshop such as LaunchDarkly Space Camp. you should have already received a unique link that will sign you into a specially-created LaunchDarkly account. Each participant in the workshop has an empty LaunchDarkly Project ready to use.

Click that special link to sign into this LaunchDarkly account.

You should see a page that looks like this:

LaunchDarkly workshop project

This is your LaunchDarkly Project, in which you can create your own flags. Note that the Project will be deleted some time after the end of the workshop.

Once you've signed into your Project, you can skip the rest of this page and continue.
