# How to Create a Model

In this documentation article, learn how to create a Model in Quality Modeller.

[Embedded content](https://www.youtube.com/embed/_gJ4ZDchXeI?&wmode=opaque&rel=0)

To create a model, firstly navigate to the "Explorer" tab, under "Modeller":

This will open the Quality Modeller panel, where new models and folders can be created under Project and Releases:

You cannot create folders and models while the Context is set to "Global". Either select a Context first, or you will be prompted to when creating folders and models.

Folders store models and other file types. They are used to manage models associated with a given Project or Release. Click "New Folder" and provide a folder name to create a new folder.

To create a new model, click "New Model". Enter a Name and Description. Names are limited by number of characters, so a description allows you to provide additional information. Providing Tags and specifying the Application is Optional:

A model name, tags, and description will appear as follows in the Quality Modeller file Explorer:

Clicking “Create Model” at this point will create the Model in the relevant folder. Clicking “Next Step” lets you select from the pre-defined Model Types:

Clicking “Create Model” will create the Model in the relevant folder. Clicking “Next Step” lets you define tracking for the model:

This allows you to set an assignee, an Agile/Kanban state, and a priority. Clicking “Create Model” will create the Model in the relevant folder.

For some model types, there will also be a “Next Step” option in the Tracking dialogue. This will offer additional options for model creation. For an overview of model types and their creation, [**please see this article.**](/docs/model-types-and-versions-explained)

A Model is a canvas and the Flow that is built onto it. There are several types of Model, some of which display different tabs and tools on the toolbar in Quality Modeller.

Quality Modeller is Curiosity's flow-driven model-based tool which provides a range of accelerators and connectors for building flowcharts rapidly. Align all stakeholders to quality outcomes and create critical assets early, delivering superior software at speed.

In the Project and Releases section of Modeller you can manage your existing projects and create new ones.
