# Admin Setup

Configure Folio Docs for your org — prerequisites, the Admin Panel, Lightning page components, real-time updates, and automation.

This section is for Salesforce administrators rolling Folio Docs out to your org. It covers first-time setup, configuring Folio in the Admin Panel, placing the Document Editor on the right record pages, keeping Documents in sync with Salesforce data, and automating workflows with Salesforce Flow.

New install? Start with [Getting Started](/docs/getting-started) and work through it in order.

## A suggested order

1. **[Getting Started](/docs/getting-started)** — confirm Lightning Web Security is on, install the package, and assign permission sets.
2. **[Settings](/docs/admin/admin-panel/settings)** — choose Linkable Objects and Linkable Fields, and turn on Background Jobs. This is where most of Folio's value gets unlocked: live Salesforce data in the page, search across every Document, and sharing that follows your records.
3. **[Add Components to Lightning Pages](/docs/admin/adding-editors-to-record-pages)** and **[the Navigation Bar](/docs/admin/adding-folio-docs-home-to-navigation)** — put Folio where your users already work.
4. **[Templates](/docs/admin/admin-panel/templates)** — give users a running start instead of a blank page.
5. **[Set up Real-Time Updates](/docs/admin/real-time-updates)** — add the Flow action for any object beyond Account, Contact, Opportunity, and Case.
6. **[Automate with Invocable Apex](/docs/admin/automation-invocable-apex)** — once the basics are live and adopted.

## Where to go next

Once your org is configured, point users at the [End User Guide](/docs/user-guide) so they can learn how to use Folio Docs day to day. Then check the [Dashboard](/docs/admin/admin-panel/dashboard) periodically to see what's actually being adopted.
