 # Starting QBI
 
+Starting QBI will involve the following steps.
 
-## TEST PAGE
+Some steps are only required the first time you use QBI.
+
+### Start QuickBooks
+
+AyaNova QBI works by communicating with a running instance of QuickBooks so you must start QuickBooks and have it open to your company file before starting QBI.
+
+QBI will check if QuickBooks is running and if it isn't you will see this message:
+
+![qb not running error](img/startqbi-qb-not-running-message.png)
+
+### Start QBI from it's Shortcut
+
+The QBI installer will create two shortcuts to start QBI, one on your desktop:
+
+![qbi desktop shortcut](img/startqbi-desktop-shortcut.png)
+
+and one in the Windows Start Menu:
+
+![qbi start menu shortcut](img/startqbi-start-menu-shortcut.png)
+
+Double-click on either shortcut to start QBI now
+
+### Grant access
+
+If this is your first time using QBI with this QuickBooks company file you will be prompted in QuickBooks to grant access to QBI:
+
+![authorize qbi in QuickBooks](img/startqbi-authorize.png)
+
+(Your version of QuickBooks may display this prompt slightly different but the action is the same)
+
+Depending on your version of QuickBooks you may also have an additional confirmation:
+
+![authorize second confirmation](img/startqbi-post-authorize.png)
+
+### QBI Initialization
+
+QBI will now read in data from both QuickBooks and then AyaNova to cache lists of objects commonly used by QBI:
+
+![qbi init caching message](img/auth-processing.png)
+
+
+### Confirm company file
+
+As a precaution QBI will prompt you when it starts to confirm that the QuickBooks company file you are using is the one you want to work with:
