# Set up your property

> Follow the guided setup to add your property's essentials, units, and team in one pass, or skip it and use the settings pages instead.

export const RoleNote = ({children}) => <Note>
    What you can see and do depends on your role on the property. If a button or
    screen described here isn't visible to you, ask a property Manager to check
    your role. See <a href="/team/roles-and-permissions">Roles & permissions</a>.
  </Note>;

When you create your first property, Superhost opens a short guided setup that
walks you through the things a property needs before it can take reservations:
its **essentials**, its **units**, and your **team**. It ends with a review of
what's done and what's still missing.

The setup is optional. Everything it collects can also be set from the
property's settings pages, so you can skip it entirely and still end up in the
same place.

## The four steps

A stepper across the top shows where you are. Tap any completed step to go back
to it — a step shows a checkmark once the underlying details are actually
filled in, not just once you've walked past it.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Essentials">
    **Property name** is required — it's the name guests and your team will
    recognize. Under **Address**, start typing and pick your address from the
    suggestions so the location and tourist-tax jurisdiction are set for you.
    **Timezone** is used for check-in and check-out times and scheduling.

    Tap **Save & continue** to save and move on, or **Skip** to move on without
    saving.

    <Tip>
      You can continue without an address and add it later from the property's
      **General** settings. The **Review** step at the end will remind you it's
      still missing.
    </Tip>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Units">
    A unit is a rentable space — a room, apartment, or villa. You need at least
    one before reservations can appear on your calendar.

    Enter a **Unit name** such as `Room 101` or `Apartment A`, pick a **Type**,
    set **Max guests**, then tap **Add unit**. The unit appears in the list
    above the form and you can add as many as you need. Tap the bin icon beside
    a unit to remove it.

    <Note>
      This step captures just the essentials. Short codes, occupancy limits,
      size, smoking policy, and amenities are all set later from the property's
      **Units** settings — see [Manage units](/properties/manage-units).
    </Note>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Team">
    Optional. Enter a teammate's **Email**, choose their **Role**, and tap
    **Send invitation** — they get a one-time link to set up their account.

    You can invite people at any time later from the property's **Members**
    settings. See [Invite team members](/team/invite-team-members) and
    [Roles & permissions](/team/roles-and-permissions).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Review">
    A checklist of everything the setup covers — property name, address,
    timezone, units, and team — each marked done or still missing, with the
    value you entered.

    If everything's covered, tap **Finish setup**. If something's still
    outstanding you'll see **Finish anyway** instead, and you can leave the rest
    for the settings pages.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Skipping the setup

Tap **Skip setup** at the top at any point to leave the flow and go straight to
the app. Nothing you've already saved is lost, and the settings pages work
exactly the same whether you finished the setup or skipped it.

## The setup prompt on your tabs

Until your property has its first unit, the **Chats**, **Tasks**, and
**Calendar** tabs show a preview of what they'll look like once you're running,
with a **Set up your property** button that takes you into the guided setup:

* **Chats** — *Your guest conversations will live here*
* **Tasks** — *Your team's tasks will appear here*
* **Calendar** — *Your bookings calendar will appear here*

Tap **Skip for now** to dismiss the prompt and see the normal empty tab
instead. As soon as the property has a unit, the tabs go back to their usual
empty state on their own.

<Note>
  The prompt only appears for people who can change property settings. If your
  role doesn't include that, you'll see the normal empty tab.
