You're viewing **Apigee Edge** documentation.  
[Go to the
**Apigee X** documentation](http://cloud.google.com/apigee/docs/hybrid/v1.9/install-create-cluster). info

First, you need to create a new portal:

1. Sign in to the [Apigee UI](https://apigee.com/edge).

   > [!NOTE]
   > **Note** : It may be helpful to position **this instructions page** and the **Apigee UI** side-by-side on your desktop to follow the steps more easily.

2. Select **Publish \> Portals** in the side navigation bar.

3. Perform one of the following:

   - If no portals existing in the organization, click **Get started**.
   - Otherwise, click **+ Portal** above the list of existing portals.
4. In the **Create a Portal** dialog:

   - Enter **My first portal** in the **Name** field.  
     Notice as you enter the portal name, the default domain for the portal is displayed. For example: `orgname-portalname.apigee.io`, where <var translate="no">orgname</var> is the organization name and <var translate="no">portalname</var> is defined using the portal name converted to all lowercase and with spaces removed. For example: `myorg-myfirstporatal.apigee.io`
   - Optionally enter a description in the **Description** field, such as **Stepping through the tutorial**.
5. Click **Create** to create the new portal.

Your new portal is created and the portal landing page displays, as shown:

Next, you'll **customize** your new portal.
