Creating a project with Quick Start
Use Quick Start to create a project using a wizard interface that steps you through the process. Projects are the containers for your solutions, storing applications, automations, forms, text adapters, and items from existing projects.
Quick Start walks you through naming your project, adding an application, and launching the Recording Assistant. After just a few steps, you're creating an automation by performing tasks in the associated application. By contrast, creating a project using the Create new option lets you name your project and location, and then creates a Globals section and an empty automation. If you're a new user, Quick Start gets you up and running quickly, while Create new gives more control to experienced users.
