# Creating a Task Sequence

To create a task sequence, you can either start from scratch or use a pre-built template.  To start from scratch, navigate to the **Task sequences** node then click the **+ Add** button and choose **Add empty** from the drop-down menu.

A new version can then be added.  It will contain a single empty group.  Click the **Edit mode** button to make changes; when done making changes click **Save all changes**.

To create a task sequence from a template, click the **+ Add** button and choose **Add from template** from the drop-down menu.  Choose from the available list (subject to change) and then click the **Clone** button:

A task sequence and version are automatically created as a copy (clone) of the selected template.  Click **Edit mode** to make changes.  Make sure needed step settings (e.g. the OS to be applied) are configured before clicking **Save all changes**.
