# Challenge settings walkthrough

After you create a challenge, DistantRace opens the **settings walkthrough** — a step-by-step tour of the most important configuration. Reopen it anytime from **Settings → Walkthrough**.

URL: `/console/<org>/challenges/<event>/overview/` (add `?new=1` right after creation).

## Walkthrough steps

The tour adapts to your challenge type. Steps you may see:

### 1. Overview and Easy Access
