Creating an Account

Latch offers several SSO options:

To create an account on Latch simply continue with a Google, GitHub, or Microsoft account.

Note: Some Microsoft organization accounts require additional setup to be used. Alternatively non SSO accounts can be administered by request.

Contact the team at Latch at support@latch.bio for help setting up these.

Getting Started

Every new account starts with a Personal Workspace.

To collaborate with team members on Latch you can create or join a team Workspace.

To join a team look for a team invite email and click the Join Team button and follow the prompts.

Workspace Overview

Latch Workspace Starting Screen

After you’ve created an account (and optionally joined a team workspace) you can explore your workspace. The left navbar contains tabs to switch between the different aspects of the platform, these are:

Workspace Avatar: Here you can switch workspaces and access a workspace settings.

Latch Registry: Keep track of experiment metadata and files in table interface.

Latch Data: A cloud file system to store experiment files and results.

Latch Workflows: Run analysis workflows through a user-friendly interface.

Latch Pods: Run downstream analysis through preconfigured apps and notebooks.


Help Button: Find help resources and contact Latch support

The Help Menu has a list of resources (this Wiki included) and also allows you to easily contact the Latch team through Intercom chat. Our Intercom is always answered by a real person and we always try to answer quickly but for best results contact during Pacific Time US business hours.

Note: the “Eyesore Help Button Mode” changes the style of the help button to something more muted. An engineer added it because he thought the darker button was an eyesore.
