# Accept or decline an invitation

Join a team or shared project from your dashboard.

## Find the invitation

1. Sign in with the Google account matching the invited email.
2. Open **Home** on the dashboard.
3. Look under **Invitations**. If there are more invitations than the dashboard shows, click **See all**.

## Accept

Click **Accept** on the invitation. Synaps opens the team or shared project.

A team invitation gives access to the team's resources according to your role. A project invitation gives access to that shared project.

## Decline

Click **Decline**, then confirm **Decline** when asked. This dismisses the invitation without joining.

## If you cannot join

If an invitation is marked **Expired**, ask the sender for a new one. If you do not see the invitation, check that you signed in with the invited email address.
