Two ways into Leavely
| You want to | Do this |
|---|---|
| Start using Leavely for your own company | Sign up. You become the Owner of a new company. |
| Join a company that already uses Leavely | Accept your invitation. You do not sign up. |
When your company already uses Leavely, do not sign up. Signing up makes a separate company, with none of your colleagues in it. Ask an Owner or Admin of your company to add you, and open the invitation email.
