:::hint{type="warning"}
**You cannot create diagrams with overlapping reporting periods for the same installation.**

If you attempt to do so, the platform will display the error message shown below. This restriction helps prevent the creation of diagrams with identical reporting periods for the same installation, reducing the risk of sharing incorrect data with your clients by mistake.

To create a new diagram for the same reporting period, you must first delete the existing one. If you're creating a diagram for tutorial purposes, make sure to specify a reporting period that does not overlap with any existing ones.

# Platform's Tutorial

:::hint{type="info"}
The first time you create a diagram, the platform will automatically launch a tutorial to guide you step by step through the basic process of generating your CBAM data. 

You can choose to skip the tutorial at any time and restart it later. 

**Note:** Each time you restart the tutorial, a new diagram will be created to guide you through the entire process. You can choose to save or delete the new diagram afterward. However, please note that new diagrams for the same installation cannot be created if their reporting periods overlap with those of existing ones.
