# Creating a World This is a step-by-step walkthrough of how to create a new world: * In the main menu on the left-side of the screen, click **Create** to open the creation sub-menu. * In the sub-menu that appears, click **Build worlds**. This opens the [My worlds panel](https://docs.sansar.com/latest/creating-in-sansar/creatortools/my-worlds-panel). * Press **Create** on the upper right corner of the panel to create a world.

*** * This opens the **World Configuration** dialog. In the **Name the new world** input field, enter a world name for your new project.

The **Choose starting content** dropdown includes your own created scene templates in addition to the Sansar default scene templates.

*** * In the same dialog, click the **Choose starting content** dropdown to select from a list of scene templates. **Note:** You can choose one of your existing scenes as the starting content for the new world. This uses the existing scene as a starting template and allows you to experiment with the scene without affecting any other existing scenes or worlds. * The **Create** button is enabled once you have a world name and a scene template selected. Click **Create** to make your world and add it in the [My worlds panel](https://docs.sansar.com/latest/creating-in-sansar/creatortools/my-worlds-panel), where you can access it at any time. *** #### Have more questions?
