First look at Sitecore XM Cloud: Part 4 - Creating a new Site

 Once you have successfully create an environment, you can go ahead and create your first site. In order to create a new Site, you need to launch the Sitecore Launchpad by clicking on the "XM Cloud Launchpad": Click on "Sites" menu to create a new Site: Click on "Add your first website" button to start the wizard.

You will see the following screen while your Site is being created: Once the Site is created, you can edit it in Pages or Explorer using the context menu: Explorer view of the Site: 1.
