“New project” dialog appears.

New project - General tab

Enter project title here. If you plan to create multi-lingual project, it’s a good time to click “Add languages” and select additional languages for this project.

Now select “Topics and keywords” tab. Enter topic titles and basic keywords. Don’t worry if you can’t think of any right now - you’ll be able to add them at any time.

On “Templates” tabs you can select predefined templates for different types of documentation. For now we’ll leave default settings there.

When everything is ready click “OK”. Helpinator opens up newly created project.
