Getting started
Everything you need to go from a fresh HexSign account to a fully synced Apple Developer team, in the order you will actually do it. This category is written for whoever sets HexSign up for the team, usually the person who already holds the admin role in App Store Connect, and it assumes nothing beyond an Apple Developer Program membership and access to the account.
Start with Create your HexSign account and start the trial, which covers sign-up and what happens when the trial ends. Then read Connect an Apple Developer account with an App Store Connect API key: generating that key is the step people get wrong most often, usually by picking the wrong role or losing the .p8 file, which Apple lets you download exactly once.
Finish with Your first sync and a tour of the dashboard to make sense of what lands after the initial sync, including the health score and the relationship graph. If you plan to wire HexSign into CI, do that once the first sync has completed, not before.
