# Signing In

Connect your Jurisphere account to the Word Add-In

If you don't yet see a Jurisphere panel or ribbon button, start with [Installing the Word Add-In](/jurisphere-word-add-in/getting-started/installing-the-add-in.md#installing-jurisphere-word-add-in) first. This page picks up exactly where that one leaves off. 

### Before you sign in

<table data-view="cards"><thead><tr><th></th><th></th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td><strong>Use your Work Email</strong></td><td>Sign in with the same email address you use on the Jurisphere web platform.</td></tr><tr><td><strong>No separate license needed</strong></td><td>The Word Add-In uses your existing Jurisphere account. There's nothing extra to buy or activate.</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Choose a Sign In method</strong></td><td>Enter your email address and verification code, or continue with Google or Microsoft.</td></tr></tbody></table>

***

### Choosing a sign-in method

Jurisphere's web platform supports signing in with an email and one time verificatio code, or with a linked Google or Microsoft account. All three appear as options inside the Word Add-In's sign-in dialog too.

{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Retrieve your one-time verification code

Jurisphere sends a short numeric code to that inbox within a few seconds. Switch to your email, find the message from Jurisphere, and note the code.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Code not arriving?** Check your **Spam/Junk folder** and, if you're on Outlook or Microsoft 365, the **Other** tab.&#x20;
{% endhint %}
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Enter the code and continue

Type the verification code into the panel and click **Continue**. You're now signed in and ready to work. The panel switches from the sign-in screen to the Ask Juris style interface you'll use for every other task in the Add-In.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.jurisphere.ai/jurisphere-word-add-in/getting-started/signing-in.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
