# Managing instances

![Screenshot: instances](../_images/screenshots/instances.svg)


**My ERP Instances** (`/instances`) lists every instance on your account.
From here you can:

- Open an instance's detail page for full status, resource usage, and
  lifecycle actions (start/stop/restart, trigger a backup, view logs)
- Create a new instance — see
  [Create your first ERP instance](../getting_started/first-instance.md)
- See an **Instance limit reached** notice if your plan's instance quota is
  used up, instead of the create button

If you have no instances yet, you'll see a **No ERP Instance** empty state
with a prompt to create one.

For the underlying API, see [Instances](../developer/api/instances.md).
