# Guides

Guides are task-oriented pages for implementing and operating workflows with the platform.

Use the [Quickstart](/get-started/quickstart) to run one complete workflow. Use Guides when you are working on a specific part of an integration and need implementation guidance beyond the API reference.

Most implementations move through setup, data, models, deployment, and views. Administration supports account access, users, roles, and user-level settings.
