To create a leaderboard, click the "Create leaderboard" button on the "Friends" tab. After clicking the button, a modal window will appear, where you can create a leaderboard by clicking the "Choose chat" button or copying the StepMania bot name (@Step_mania_bot) and manually adding it to the chat.

Important: Do not give the bot admin rights in the chat. The bot should remain just a participant in the chat.

After adding the bot to the chat, it will ask to choose a language, create a leaderboard to track the steps of chat participants, and send a welcome message. This message will contain a button through which other participants can join the leaderboard and start competing.
The bot will send a daily report on the previous day: who was the leader, the total team result, whether new records were set, and more. Each report is accompanied by an image or GIF.

After adding the bot to the chat, it will send a message with the "Leaderboard" button. Clicking the button opens the leaderboard page in the StepMania mini-app in Telegram. The first time you open the leaderboard, the user needs to confirm their participation by clicking the "Join" button.
Only chat participants in the chat where the leaderboard is created can join the leaderboard.

Only one leaderboard is possible for a chat.
