Getting started

Install and sign in for the first time

Getting the desktop app onto a Windows 10 or 11 machine and creating your workspace.

The public release record lists v0.2.0 as available by request. These notes are not a guarantee that every workflow or provider integration is enabled in your build. Check the release record and ask support to confirm version-specific setup.

Download and verify

The current installer is provided by request. The public release manifest lists the current version and whether a public artifact is available. Ask the Vendale team for the release-specific installer and checksum.

To verify an approved Windows artifact before running it, open PowerShell in its folder and run certutil -hashfile <filename> SHA256. Compare the result with the checksum supplied for that exact release. If they differ, do not run the installer.

Install

Use the installer format and setup instructions supplied for your approved release. The package notes identify any operating-system prompts or administrator requirements.

Use the supplied workspace details

The public stable release is invite-only, so request access before expecting a registration flow. For an approved evaluation, use the sign-in or invitation instructions supplied with that exact build.

The Workspace URL is the HTTPS address of your team's Vendale API, supplied by your workspace or server operator. Do not guess this address or use vendale.app unless your operator confirms that it is your workspace API.

  1. 01Confirm that your team has access to the current release and has received the matching server address.
  2. 02Launch the approved build and follow its supplied invitation or sign-in steps.
  3. 03Enter the exact Workspace URL from your operator, including the HTTPS scheme and hostname.
  4. 04If access fails, check the release version and workspace address with your operator before retrying.

If sign-in loops

The current source includes clearer invalid-credentials feedback. If the installed build shows a generic message or keeps returning you to sign-in, note its version and ask your operator to confirm the matching server and supported login method.
