# Quickstart

![Studio home showing the what-to-make-searchable picker, file drop zone, and sample-data card](https://mintcdn.com/mixpeek/Wd_dr3_jo8gqgFxV/assets/studio/quickstart.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=Wd_dr3_jo8gqgFxV\&q=85\&s=10bbff0e993c0028c02046478c18823f)

The Studio home — choose what you want to make searchable, drop in files, or explore the preloaded sample data.

[Quickstart overview](https://d8ts56gtwtyh1.cloudfront.net/docs/warehouse/quickstart.mp4)

Studio is the visual interface for the multimodal warehouse, where you manage namespaces, collections, and retrievers.

### Use the Studio to manage your organization

* **Set active namespace**: Use the top bar namespace switcher. All actions scope to this selection. Namespaces mirror API behavior for `X-Namespace`. Create one in Studio or via [Create Namespace](https://docs.mixpeek.com/docs/api-reference/namespaces/create-namespace.md).
* **Create buckets**: Define schemas to validate your objects. Buckets are the entry point for raw data. See [Create Bucket](https://docs.mixpeek.com/docs/api-reference/buckets/create-bucket.md) and [Create Object](https://docs.mixpeek.com/docs/api-reference/bucket-objects/create-object.md).
* **Create collections**: Point to a source and pick [features](https://docs.mixpeek.com/docs/processing/features.md). Collections produce searchable documents and vectors. See [Create Collection](https://docs.mixpeek.com/docs/api-reference/collections/create-collection.md) and [Describe Features](https://docs.mixpeek.com/docs/api-reference/collections/describe-collection-features.md).
* **Ingest data**: Upload objects to buckets, optionally in batches. Processing runs in the Engine and writes documents to your namespace.
* **Explore results**: Use `Explorer` to search, filter, and preview documents with presigned URLs.
* **Build retrievers**: Configure stages, test inputs, and save pipelines to power your apps. See [Create Retriever](https://docs.mixpeek.com/docs/api-reference/retrievers/create-retriever.md) and [Execute Retriever](https://docs.mixpeek.com/docs/api-reference/retrievers/execute-retriever).
* **Enrich with taxonomies**: Attach flat or hierarchical taxonomies on-demand or materialized. See [Create Taxonomy](https://docs.mixpeek.com/docs/api-reference/taxonomies/create-taxonomy.md) and [Test Taxonomy](https://docs.mixpeek.com/docs/api-reference/taxonomies/test-taxonomy-configuration-validation-only.md).
* **Discover with clusters**: Run clustering jobs and apply enrichment back to collections. See [Create Cluster](https://docs.mixpeek.com/docs/api-reference/clusters/create-cluster.md) and [Execute Clustering](https://docs.mixpeek.com/docs/api-reference/clusters/execute-clustering.md).

### Tips

* **Auth is automatic in Studio**: Your API key and `X-Namespace` header are handled for you. When calling APIs directly, include both.
* **Rate limits and health**: Check `Operations` for service health and limits. API reference: [Healthcheck](https://docs.mixpeek.com/docs/api-reference/health/healthcheck) and [Limits](https://docs.mixpeek.com/docs/troubleshoot/limits.md).

**1. Set active namespace**

Use the top bar switcher. This scopes all actions and mirrors the `X-Namespace` header.

**2. Create buckets**

Define schemas, then register objects. Buckets are your raw input boundary.

**3. Create collections**

Pick features and index configs; this produces searchable documents and vectors.

**4. Ingest and process**

Upload objects or submit batches; the Engine writes vectors and payloads to [MVS](https://mixpeek.com/mvs).

**5. Explore and retrieve**

Use Explorer for ad-hoc discovery and Retrievers for production search.

**6. Enrich with taxonomies and clusters**

Attach taxonomies on-demand or materialize; run clustering for discovery and analytics.

Studio follows Mintlify component patterns for clarity and scannability; see the Mintlify starter for examples.
