<Accordion title="New to using NeMo Platform?">

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 **[Setup guide](/documentation/get-started)** 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](/documentation/get-started/core-concepts/workspaces) and [Projects](/documentation/get-started/core-concepts/projects).
