    Under the **Create** option, you also add existing projects to your SAP Build workspace in the following ways:

    * **Clone from Git**: to clone an existing project from a Git repository.
  
    * **Add from Dev Space**: to add a project from an existing SAP Business Application studio dev space to your SAP Build Code tenant.

3. Click the **Application** tile.

4. Select the type of application you want to create.
   
    ![Select application type](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sap-tutorials/btp-adai/main/tutorials/build-code-new-project/4.png)

    * Select **Full-Stack** to develop, extend, and deploy full-stack applications of type **Full Stack with Productivity Tools**.
    * Select **Frontend** to build responsive, interactive web UIs.
    * Secelct **Backend** to build server-side applications. 
    * Select **Mobile** to customize, deploy, and manage your customized iOS and Android apps in the cloud.

5. If you selected a Full Stack application, select **Full-Stack Node.JS**, **Full-Stack Java**, or **Full-Stack ABAP** as your development stack.

6. Provide a name for your project.

6. Select the dev space where you want the project to reside.
    >SAP Build Code recommends the dev space it deems most suitable, and it will automatically create a new one for you if you don't already have one. If you have other dev spaces of the same type (for example, Full-Stack), you can select between them. If you want to create a different dev space, or a dev space or another type, go to the Dev Space Manager. See [Working in the Dev Space Manager](https://help.sap.com/docs/build_code/d0d8f5bfc3d640478854e6f4e7c7584a/ad40d52d0bea4d79baaf9626509caf33.html?locale=en-US).

7.  Click **Review**. 
   
    A summary of your selections is displayed.
