## Overview

In Wrapbook, startwork packets let you bundle one or more required documents into a single packet that can be assigned to project workers, helping standardize startwork collection across a company or a specific project.

**You don’t need to enter every detail at once to get started.** You can create the packet with the basics first, then return to add or refine information later, including the description, organization assignment, selected documents, and document order before assigning it.

## How to create a startwork packet

To create a startwork packet:

1. At the top of the left-side navigation, click the dropdown menu
  - If you want to create a startwork packet at the **company-level,** select **All projects**
  - If you want to create a startwork packet at the **project-level,** select the project that you’re creating the packet for
2. In the left-side navigation, click **Startwork**
3. On the *Startwork* dashboard, click the **Packets** tab
4. In the *Packets* view of the *Startwork* dashboard, click the **+ Create packet** button. A panel will open, where you can configure the packet.
  - Enter a packet *Name*
  - Enter a packet *Description* (optional)
  - For company-level startwork, if an [organizational structure](/v1/docs/about-organizations) has been configured, you can click the dropdown menu under *Assign to an organization* to select an organization unit (OU).
  - Click to select the documents that you want to add to the packet. If the list of startwork documents is extensive, you can use the *Search* bar to find specific startwork documents by name.
  - Under *Document Order*, you can drag the individual documents that you’ve selected to your desired order.
5. When you’re ready, you can click the **Create packet** button to save it
