# Getting Started with Sentinel

Welcome to **Sentinel**! Follow these steps to set up your Discord server and start managing moderation for your Roblox and Discord communities.

## Step 1: Invite the Sentinel Bot

To begin, you'll need to invite the **Sentinel** bot to your Discord server. The bot is your central tool for managing moderation actions and registering Workspaces.

1. Visit [sentinel.metatable.dev/invite](https://sentinel.metatable.dev/invite).
2. Follow the instructions to add the **Sentinel** bot to your Discord server.

## Step 2: Verify Yourself with Roblox OAuth

Once the bot is in your server, you'll need to verify yourself using Roblox's OAuth system to ensure your account is properly linked.

1. In any channel where the bot has permissions, type the following command:

   ```
   /verify
   ```
2. You will receive a link prompting you to log in with Roblox. Follow the link and authenticate your account to complete the verification process.
3. Once verified, you're ready to set up your first **Workspace**.

## Step 3: Create Your Workspace

After verifying yourself, it's time to set up your **Workspace**. The Workspace is required for managing moderation actions across your Roblox experiences and Discord server.

1. In your Discord server, type the following command:

   ```
   /new {whitelistKey} {workspaceName}
   ```

   * Replace `{whitelistKey}` with the unique key provided at sentinel.metatable.dev/key.
   * Replace `{workspaceName}` with the name of your Workspace (e.g., "BIG Games").

   Example command:

   ```
   /new XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX BIG Games
   ```
2. The bot will confirm that your Workspace has been created, and you'll be ready to start linking your Roblox experiences and setting up moderation rules.

## That's it!

You've now completed the basic setup of **Sentinel**. You can begin registering your Roblox experiences under the Workspace and start using Sentinel’s powerful moderation tools across your community.
