+Operating the System and Submitting a Job
+==========================================
+After preparing the poc workspace and starting the server, clients, and console (optional), we have several options to operate the whole system.
+
+First, link the desired job directory to the admin's transfer directory:
+
+.. code-block:: none
+
+    nvflare poc prepare-jobs-dir -j NVFlare/examples
+
+FLARE Console
+--------------
+After starting the FLARE console with:
+
+.. code-block:: none
+
+    nvflare poc start -p admin@nvidia.com
+
+Login and submit the job:
+
+.. code-block:: none
+
+    submit_job hello-world/hello-numpy-sag/jobs/hello-numpy-sag
+
+Refer to :ref:`operating_nvflare` for more details.
+
+FLARE API
+---------
+To programmatically operate the system and submit a job, use the :ref:`flare_api`:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    import os
+    from nvflare.fuel.flare_api.flare_api import new_secure_session
+
+    poc_workspace = "/tmp/nvflare/poc"
+    poc_prepared = os.path.join(poc_workspace, "example_project/prod_00")
+    admin_dir = os.path.join(poc_prepared, "admin@nvidia.com")
+    sess = new_secure_session("admin@nvidia.com", startup_kit_location=admin_dir)
+    job_id = sess.submit_job("hello-world/hello-numpy-sag/jobs/hello-numpy-sag")
+
+    print(f"Job is running with ID {job_id}")
+
+
+Job CLI
+-------
+The :ref:`job_cli` also provides a convenient command to submit a job:
+
+.. code-block:: none
+
+    nvflare job submit -j NVFlare/examples/hello-world/hello-numpy-sag/jobs/hello-numpy-sag
