How to Create Your Password and Access Glean

Step 1: Accept the invitation

It's easier to do this on a computer rather than to use your smartphone.

Go to your student email account and open the email titled "Invitation to Glean: the note taking app for learning"
Click the button labeled "Start Using Glean"

Step 2: Confirm your information, and create a password

After you click "Start using Glean" in your email, you are taken to Glean's website. The page will read "First step: check your email and name are correct." Make sure that your student email address is correct. If you'd like to use a different name - say, a nickname, for example - you may enter the new name here. Click the Continue button to move forward.
On the next screen you'll be asked to enter a password. We suggest using your student G number (with the G), so that we can help if you forget it. Click the Create Account button to move forward.
The next series of screens are rather annoying, because you're asked a bunch of questions. I have asked Glean to remove all of these screens, but for the time being you can just click through them without answering the questions.

Step 3: Click through Glean's survey

On the Welcome to Glean screen, click the Continue button.
The next six screens - yes, SIX, and I apologize for that - all ask questions that you do not have to answer. Glean does not need this information to work properly. Just click the "Skip this question" link on the bottom right to move through them.

Step 4: Spend some time with Glean's training materials

After clicking through the questions, you'll get to a screen labeled "Learn the basics by watching our intro video."

To watch the video, click the Play button in the embedded player.
To skip the video, click the "Continue" button - but I hope you take the time to watch it.

Next, you'll see a screen labeled "Let's get you started!" This screen can take you to a very helpful interactive tutorial - or take you to a collection of how-to articles to read.

Click the "onboarding articles" link to read the information
Click "Start Tour" to take the interactive tutorial

Step 5 (optional): Download the Mobile App

The Glean Notes app is available at Google Play or the Apple App Store.

Tip:

The how-to articles and video are available in the Help Center, linked in the main Glean interface. The Guided Tour is also linked to the main Glean interface. Look for the "Need Help?" and "Guided Tour" buttons on the bottom left of the screen.
