Start here

If you've just purchased Ivy, do these three things before anything else:

  1. Duplicate the template in Framer. All your work happens in the original remix. Use the duplicate as backup.
  2. Watch the video setup guide linked in your purchase confirmation. It covers the full setup in sequence. Under 20 minutes.
  3. Read this documentation. It covers everything the video doesn't have time for.

How this is organized

Work through the sections in order on your first setup. After that, use the sidebar to jump to whatever you need.

All sections are subpages in the sidebar. On mobile, tap the menu icon at the top to access them.
