# About startwork packets

## Overview

A startwork packet is a collection of role-specific documents and forms that are distributed to workers during the onboarding process

With Wrapbook, you can group individual startwork documents into a startwork packet that can be assigned to workers when you invite them to join a project.

Startwork packets can be created from the *Startwork* dashboard at both the company and project levels.

**When you create a startwork packet at the company level:**

- It can contain any individual startwork documents that have been saved on the company *Startwork* dashboard
- It can be assigned to any worker that’s been added to a company project

**When you create a startwork packet at the project level:**

- It can only contain startwork that’s been saved on the project *Startwork* dashboard
- It can only be assigned to workers who have been added to that specific project

Startwork packets cannot be transferred between company and project levels. To restrict packet access to a specific project, you’ll need to create a new packet directly at the project level.
