+There are several ways to create a new project in OpenProject. Keep in mind that the ability to create a new project is tied to correct [permissions](../../system-admin-guide/users-permissions/roles-permissions/).
 
 1. Click the green button **+ Project** directly on the system's home screen in the **Project** section.

+4. If the project you are creating is subproject, navigate to the [project settings](../../user-guide/projects/project-settings/) and use the *+ Subproject* button.
 
-- You can either create a completely new project, a subproject of an existing project or a (sub)project from a template. For the latter option, choose a [template](../../user-guide/projects/project-templates/#create-a-project-template) using the drop-down menu.
-- Enter a **name** for your project and click the **Create** button.
-- Integrate the project into the existing project hierarchy by defining it as a subproject of an existing project.
-- The **Advanced settings** allow for further configuration, e.g. description, URL, etc.
+### Choose how to create your project
+You can create either:
 
-![Name and create a new project in OpenProject](openproject_getting_started_new_project_form.png)
+- a **blank project** (a completely new and empty project), or 
+- a project **based on a template**.
 
-By default, creating a new project will set you as project admin, regardless of whether you copied a project, used a template or created a project from scratch. Now, you can get started working on your project.
+The **Blank project** option is selected by default.
 
-To configure further project information, see the documentation for [project settings](../../user-guide/projects/project-settings/project-information/).
+>  [!TIP]
+> If you do not see any template options, this may be because no projects have been set as [project templates](../../user-guide/projects/project-templates/#create-a-project-template) yet, or because you do not have access to any template projects. Only templates that are public or where you are a project member are shown, allowing different user groups to see only the templates relevant to them.
 
-### View all projects
+Click **Continue** to proceed.
 
-To view all your projects in which you are a member, click on the **Project lists** button at the bottom of the action bar after opening the **Select a project** drop-down menu.

+### Define project details
 
-Alternatively you can use the [**Global modules menu**](../../user-guide/home/global-modules/#projects) on the left or select *Projects* using the grid icon in the top left corner.
+Next, enter the **name** and an optional **description** for your project.  You can also integrate the project into your existing project hierarchy by selecting a **parent project**, which will make the new project a **subproject**.
+
+Click **Complete** to finish the setup.

+
+> [!TIP]
+> If you started creating a new project (project B) from within any other project (project A), project B is considered a subproject of project A. 
+> In this case, the **Subproject of** field is not shown, but the parent project appears in the breadcrumb navigation.
+> If this was not your intention, you can change or remove the parent project later in the project settings of project B.

+> If there are project attributes configured as **required**, an additional step will appear during project creation. You must fill in these attributes before you can complete the setup.

+
+### Project members
+
+The project members of a newly created project depend on how the project was created:
+
+- **Blank project**: The user creating the project will be added automatically as a member, project role is based on the [corresponding setting in administration](../../system-admin-guide/projects/new-project/). 
+- **From a template**: The project inherits the same members and roles as defined in the template.
+- **Copied from another project**: The project inherits the members and roles from the original project. See here [how to copy a project](../../projects/project-settings/project-information/#copy-a-project/).
+
+To continue configuring your project, see the documentation on [project settings](../../user-guide/projects/project-settings/project-information/).

+## View all projects
+
+To view all your projects in which you are a member, use the [**Global modules menu**](../../user-guide/home/global-modules/#projects) on the left or select *Projects* using the grid icon in the top left corner.

 You can create a new project by using an existing template. This copies the template’s settings and structure to the new project. Find out in our Getting started guide how to [create a new project](../../../getting-started/projects/#create-a-new-project) in OpenProject.

 Alternatively, you can [copy the project](../project-settings/project-information/#copy-a-project) to use it as a template.
