+## Common Paths
+
+### Build a wallet connection flow
+
+1. [Install MBGA](/installation)
+2. Pick a [connector](/connectors)
+3. Follow [Getting Started](/getting-started)
+4. Add a pre-built UI with [Kit](/kit) if you do not want to build the wallet UI yourself
+
+### Build a server-managed or embedded wallet app
+
+1. [Install MBGA](/installation)
+2. Use the [Spark SDK connector](/connectors/spark-sdk)
+3. Use [core actions](/api/core-actions) or React [hooks](/api/hooks)
+
+### Add Flashnet orchestration
+
+1. Set up the base wallet flow with [Getting Started](/getting-started)
+2. Add [Flashnet authentication](/flashnet/authentication)
+3. Continue with the [Flashnet docs](/flashnet)
