# Creating Places

Once you log in to the Places Dashboard, you’ll land on the **Places** tab — your central hub for managing all your places.

To get started, click the **New Place** button. You’ll be able to browse a selection of ready-to-use templates. Choose a template that fits your needs or start from scratch with an empty template. After selection, your place will open in the [**Web Arranger**](/places/places-dashboard/web-arranger.md) in a new tab.

You can also access these templates from the **Environments** **tab**. Simply select an environment you like and click it to create a new place based on that template. Your newly created place will automatically appear in the **Places** tab.

The **Samples** **tab** offers templates that come with pre-installed assets. Use these if you want to quickly create a place that already includes content and components.
