Setting Up Your GreenSlate Account

Once your start work has been approved, your start pack is shared with GreenSlate. We will then send you an email from team@gslate.com to access your GreenSlate account. 

If you don't already have an account from a previous project with GreenSlate, you will first need to create a password before you can access your account.
