When you join, an onboarding journey helps you set up your profile and discover content you care about. Each community designs its own journey, so the exact steps you see depend on how your community set things up.

### For community admins
+
On Pro and up, you design the journey yourself in your admin area under **Community → Onboarding**: add steps, reorder them, write your own copy, choose which picks new members make, and add a drip of intro emails over their first days. Build a journey, make it live, and every new member follows it. With no journey active, members get the standard interest picker above.
