# Quick start

Six steps take you from a paper campaign list to a work you can turn, magnify and annotate on screen.

## 1. Sign in

Go to **hub.aerariumchain.com** and sign in with your AerariumChain account. If your institution invited you, accept the invitation first: your role decides which sections of the Hub you will see.

## 2. Choose your institution

The selector in the header lists the institutions you belong to. Choose the one you are working for, or remain in your personal space.

## 3. Bring in the campaign list

Open **Artwork Catalog > Import Data** and upload the campaign spreadsheet. The Hub recognises the columns of the DPAC template on its own; adjust any mapping if your list differs, save the mapping as a template for the next campaign, and confirm. The works now stand in the **Artwork Library**. The [Catalog](/en/catalog/) page explains every column.

## 4. Digitize

Capture happens in the galleries and storerooms with the [AerariumChain Scan kit](/en/scan-kit/):

- The **Scan app** (downloaded from **Acquisitions > Download App**) drives the 3D scanner, the gigapixel camera and the multispectral sequence.
- A structured campaign is run with [Site Manager](/en/site-manager/), which keeps the checklist of what each work still needs.

## 5. Let the Hub do the technical work

Scans are uploaded from the Scan app; a single model can also be uploaded from **3D Assets**. From there the Hub [processes everything automatically](/en/upload-and-processing/): conversion, textures, levels of detail. You can watch the progress from the work's detail view, but nothing requires your intervention.

## 6. Study and share

When processing ends, open the model in the [3D viewer](/en/3d-viewer/) from any device, or the photographic plate in the [Gigapixel viewer](/en/gigapixel/). Everything remains linked to the work's record in the Catalog.

## Where to go next

- Deposit and notarize the digitized works with **DPAC** by Ecomic, from the [Store](/en/store/).
- Read how the [worker network](/en/node-workers/) does the heavy computation, and how your institution can take part in it.
