Although every company uses Procore differently, we have compiled the following steps for basic project setup and Procore training.
1. Initial Training

2. Project Setup

- Follow this step-by-step tutorial to Add a New Project. Your project in Procore will be the hub for all of your documents, communication and collaboration.
- Directory
- The Project Directory is a directory of the project's collaborators contact information. To set up the directory, we recommend starting by adding users in bulk from your Company's Directory. See Bulk Add Users and Companies to a Project Directory. If there are any new collaborators that you need to add, see Add a User Account to the Project Directory.
Note: Adding a person to the Project Directory automatically adds them to the Company Directory.
