# How to create a project in GitLab
-There are two ways to create a new project in GitLab.
-
-1. While in your dashboard, you can create a new project using the **New project**
- green button or you can use the cross icon in the upper right corner next to
- your avatar which is always visible.
+1. In your dashboard, click the green **New project** button or use the plus
+ icon in the upper right corner of the navigation bar.

-1. From there you can see several options.
+1. This opens the **New project** page.
![Project information](img/create_new_project_info.png)
-1. Fill out the information:
-
- 1. "Project name" is the name of your project (you can't use special characters,
- but you can use spaces, hyphens, underscores or even emojis).
- 1. The "Project description" is optional and will be shown in your project's
- dashboard so others can briefly understand what your project is about.
- 1. Select a [visibility level](../public_access/public_access.md).
- 1. You can also [import your existing projects](../workflow/importing/README.md).
-
-1. Finally, click **Create project**.
+1. Provide the following information:
+ - Enter the name of your project in the **Project name** field. You can't use
+ special characters, but you can use spaces, hyphens, underscores or even
+ emoji.
+ - If you have a project in a different repository, you can [import it] by
+ clicking an **Import project from** button provided this is enabled in
+ your GitLab instance. Ask your administrator if not.
+ - The **Project description (optional)** field enables you to enter a
+ description for your project's dashboard, which will help others
+ understand what your project is about. Though it's not required, it's a good
+ idea to fill this in.
+ - Changing the **Visibility Level** modifies the project's
+ [viewing and access rights](../public_access/public_access.md) for users.
+
+1. Click **Create project**.
