### Signing in to the JourneyApps IDE - OXIDE

The first step to building apps on JourneyApps is to sign in to **OXIDE**, the **JourneyApps online IDE**. Head over to [oxide.journeyapps.com](https://oxide.journeyapps.com/) and you will be redirected to the JourneyApps Accounts Portal to sign in.

### Admin Portal

Once you've signed in, you'll arrive on the **Admin Portal** page, as seen below, and from here you will be able to create new apps or update existing apps from the list (initially this list will be empty - as in the screenshot).

### Switching Between Organizations

All your apps will be grouped by **Organization**. By default your account will have two organizations, a "production" organization and a "sandbox" organization. You can switch between Organizations that you have access to using the org dropdown in the top left corner of the screen.

If you have a Trial account, you will only have access to one organization
