This walkthrough follows an assessor from their first invitation to a submitted assessment. The
video is on its way; each step below links the article that covers it in full.

Labels that name `Application` and `Assessment` use your organisation's own term if you've renamed
it.

## 1. Set up your account

Accept the invitation the organisation sent you, or join with its link. See
[Creating your assessor account](creating-your-account.md).

## 2. Find what's assigned to you

Your `Dashboard` lists `My Assessments`, with the nearest due date first. See
[Your assessor dashboard](assessor-home.md).

## 3. Open an assessment

Select `Assess`. Depending on how the round is set up, Backed first asks you:

- whether you will assess the application — see
  [Deciding whether to assess](deciding-whether-to-assess.md);
- whether you have a conflict of interest — see [Conflict of interest](conflict-of-interest.md);
- to agree to the organisation's confidentiality agreement.

## 4. Assess and submit

Read the application beside the Assessment Form, answer every question and select `Submit`. See
[Assessing an application](assessing-an-application.md) and
[Completing an assessment](completing-an-assessment.md).
