# Create a Spot

On the mark, set, go!

At MeltingSpot, it all begins with a Spot, a digital space where you will gather and grow your academy. 

## Creating a Spot 

To create a Spot, simply click either : 

* on the `+` icon in the left sidebar of the application. 
* on the `Create a Spot` button in the navigation bar from the application's homepage. 

Then, let yourself be guided through the different steps of creation. There are 7 steps: the first 3 allow us to better understand your needs, then the real creation of your Spot begins. 

## Choose your features 

In this part, you can define the features you wish to integrate into your Spot! You will be able to come back to them at any time from [your Spot's settings.](/english/manage-spot/customization/features.md)

## Spot Confidentiality: Your Choice&#x20;

When it comes to the confidentiality of your Spot, you have two options: either `Public` or `Private`.&#x20;

* If your Spot is `Public`: anyone with the Spot's URL will be able to join it.&#x20;
* If your Spot is `Private`: new registrations will require validation by an Admin unless the member has been invited beforehand.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://help.meltingspot.io/english/get-started/create-spot.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
