# Getting Started

Business Units are specific groups of devices you wish to apply patches, and Deployments manage the process of actually applying patches.

Beginning with version `10.0`, there is a guided walkthrough to get you started creating Strategies and managing your Business Units. This walkthrough is intended to get you up and running in the least amount of time with a 'set-it-and-forget-it' approach.

## Walkthrough tasks

The walkthrough will guide you through specific step-by-step tasks in order for you to:

* Add Devices
  * Add devices by installing the Adaptiva client.
* Verify Your Devices
  * Verify your devices have successfully communicated with your server and have been added to either your Central Location or an Auto-generated Location.
* Manage Business Units
  * Group your devices into separate Business Units within your Locations.
* Create and Run a Strategy
  * Create a new Strategy to fit your patching needs.
* Deployments Dashboard
  * Monitor and manage the progress of your patch deployments.

### Re-enabling the walkthrough

When you have completed all of the tasks, you can either close the walkthrough, or select **Dismiss Forever**. If you select **Dismiss Forever**, this will also remove the **Get Started** button from the side navigation.

If, however, you want to revisit the **Get Started** walkthrough you can re-enable it with the following steps:

1. Select the profile icon from the top right of the pane and **Manage Account**.
2. Toggle **ON** the **OneSite Patch: General** in the **Onboarding section**.
