| 15 | +## Configure the network credentials of a new Thing {#configure} |
| 16 | + |
| 17 | +1. Go to the [Things tab](https://app.arduino.cc/things) and select a Thing, or create a new Thing by clicking on the **+ Create Thing** button or the **+Thing** button in the top right corner. |
| 18 | + |
| 19 | +1. If the Thing doesn't have an associated device, go to the **Associated Device** section and click the **Select Device** button. Get help [adding a device to Arduino Cloud](https://support.arduino.cc/hc/en-us/articles/360016495559-Add-and-connect-a-device-to-Arduino-Cloud#upload-sketch) if needed. |

| 30 | + - If using ESP32 and ESP8266: Enter the secret key that was provided when adding the device. |
| 31 | + - If using Arduino SIM: Use [these credentials](https://support.arduino.cc/hc/en-us/articles/360013825159-What-are-the-credentials-for-the-Arduino-SIM-card). |
| 32 | + - If using Arduino with LoRa®: The credentials are added automatically. |
| 33 | + |
| 34 | +1. Go to the **Sketch** tab in the top right and upload the sketch to load the credentials on the board. |
| 35 | + |
| 36 | +## Change the network credentials of a Thing {#change} |
| 37 | + |
