Key Moments - 2 Insights

Why do I need to wait after entering project details?

After entering details (Step 4), Supabase sets up your database and services (Step 5). This takes time before the project is ready.

Can I access the dashboard before the project is ready?

No, the dashboard opens only after setup finishes (Step 6). Trying earlier will not work as services are not ready.
