# Creating a project from Site Management

After successfully signing into Site Management, the project view has a new button "**+ New project**".

The appearance may vary between ACC and Trimble Connect versions, due to the differences in these systems. Also the project creation dialog varies, because different information is needed for the two platforms. Both of the dialogs will be introduced in the next chapters.
