+## Configure Your Org Using SWiPE
+
+**SWiPE** is an online tool to help configure a workshop environment in Splunk Observability Cloud and is available [**here**](https://swipe.splunk.show).
+
+{{% notice info %}}
+
+Please note, **SWiPE does not** provision EC2 instances - these are provisioned using Splunk Show.

+
+**SWiPE** will configure the following:
+
+- Create and invite users to the Org. Create a `.csv` file containing the e-mail addresses (one per line) **or** copy and paste e-mail addresses (one per line).
+- Create a team and add users to the team.
+- Create tokens for:
+  - INGEST
+  - API
+  - RUM
+  - HEC URL
+  - HEC Token
+
+  You will need to make a copy of these to provision the EC2 instances in Splunk Show.

+## Provision the EC2 Instances Using Splunk Show
+
+![Splunk Show](../images/splunk-show.png)
+
+Please visit [**Splunk Show**](https://show.splunk.com/template/262/?type=workshop) to provision your EC2 environment(s). Select the desired **Content Type** as follows:
+
+- _Default (for interactive workshop)_ - select this if your audience is technical and wants hands-on experience installing OpenTelemetry and deploying applications.
+  - Select either Normal Workshop, Private Event or Public Event. Change **Estimated Participants** to the number of attendees you expect and set the same value in **O11y Shop Quantity**. This will provision the correct number of EC2 instances. It is recommended that you over-provision by 10% - 20% to allow for any last-minute attendees.
+- _Pre-configured Instances_ - select this if you need the OpenTelemetry Collector and the application pre-deployed for a less technical audience. Attendees will only require a browser to complete the workshop.
+  - Select Normal Workshop only! Ensure that **Estimated Participants** is set to **1** and **O11y Shop Quantity** is set to **1** also as only a single instance is required by the workshop instructor.
+
+{{% notice info %}}
+
+- Ensure you set **Operating hours** to **Run always (24/7)** as this will prevent the instance from being suspended and obtaining a new IP address which breaks RUM and Synthetics.
+- Ensure you set a **DNS name** for the instance(s) as this makes it easier to find environments in Splunk Observability Cloud.
+
+{{% /notice %}}
+
+Select your Splunk Observability Cloud Realm and enter the INGEST, API, RUM tokens and the HEC URL and HEC Token that **SWiPE** generated for you.
+
+For further guidance on using Splunk Show please see the [**Splunk Show User Guide**](http://go/show/user-guide).

+
+## Workshop Clean-up
+
+Once you have completed your workshop session please remember to go back and clean up the environment using **SWiPE**. Also, ensure your EC2 instances are spun down to save costs.
+
+**SWiPE** will complete the following:
+
+- Delete all the users associated with the workshop
+- Delete the team
+- Delete the tokens (INGEST, API and RUM)
+- Delete user dashboards
+
+![Delete Workshop](../images/delete-workshop.png)
+
+**SWiPE** also provides some advanced features for deleting tokens and detectors etc., but this must be used with caution.
+
+**Happy Workshopping!**
