# Platform Prerequisites

    All platform resources—models, datasets, and more—must belong to a **workspace**. Workspaces provide organizational and authorization boundaries for your work. Within a workspace, you can optionally use **projects** to group related resources.

    **If you're new to the platform**, start with the **[NeMo Setup guide](../../get-started/setup.md)** to learn how to deploy and evaluate models, and optimize agents using the platform end-to-end.

    **If you're already familiar** with workspaces and how to upload datasets to the platform, you can proceed directly with this tutorial.

    For more information, see [Workspaces](../../get-started/concepts/workspaces.md) and [Projects](../../get-started/concepts/projects.md).
