Account Access in Studio
Account Access in Studio
You can create locally without an account. Sign in when you want to sync supported Studio setup, save or publish on the Web, manage connected devices, or reach Studio through cloud Agent Access.
<!-- guide:excerpt id="account_access" -->An account is optional for local Projects, Pipes, Gallery, Models, Nodes, Transform, Settings, and same-computer Agent Access. Sign in for setup sync, connected devices, Web saving and publishing, and cloud Agent Access.

- Open Studio’s account control.
- Start sign-in.
- Complete authentication in the browser.
- Return to Studio and confirm your account appears.
- Turn on setup sync or Agent Access only if you want to use it.
