# Your first win: the "Cup of Tea" Blueprint

Your first Blueprint should be so simple you can:

1. Click **Start**
2. Go make a cup of tea
3. Come back
4. See a finished output waiting for you

The easiest beginner Blueprint is:

**File Upload → Report Generation → (optional) SharePoint Upload**

## 2) Choose your Blueprint type

There are two modes:

* **Manual Start** → runs when you click **Start**
* **Sub-Blueprint** → runs as a reusable step inside another Blueprint

### Manual Start (recommended first)
