# Restart the MainWP Quick Setup Wizard

> Access the MainWP Quick Setup Wizard from the top-right profile menu to rerun initial setup steps.

The Quick Setup Wizard guides you through MainWP's initial configuration, including system checks, connecting child sites, adding clients, and setting up monitoring. If you skipped the wizard during installation or need to reconfigure your settings, you can restart it at any time.

## What You Will Accomplish

By completing these steps, you will launch the Quick Setup Wizard and be able to:

* Review system requirements
* Connect your first child site
* Add your first client
* Configure uptime and health monitoring settings

## Prerequisites

* MainWP Dashboard plugin installed and activated
* Administrator access to the MainWP Dashboard site

## Steps

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open MainWP Tools">
    Click the profile image in the top-right corner, then select **MainWP Tools**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Start the wizard">
    Click the **Start Quick Setup Wizard** button.

    The Quick Setup Wizard start screen appears. Continue through each step using the wizard navigation buttons.
  </Step>
</Steps>

If you prefer, you can open the wizard directly by visiting `admin.php?page=mainwp-setup` on your Dashboard site.

## Common Use Cases

* **Reconfiguring after initial setup**: You skipped certain steps during first-time setup and want to complete them now
* **Onboarding a team member**: Walking someone through the configuration process on a shared Dashboard
