# Creating a New File

When you first launch Blueconda, you're greeted with some welcome code:

```python
# Welcome to Blueconda
print("Hello, World!")
```

There are 2 very easy ways to create a new file:

1. You can manually delete all this and get started.
2. Click the "New File" button. This is the recommended approach as this will refresh all the variables too, giving you a clean start.

This is a very basic starting point, but is a crucial step. Now lets get coding!

{% hint style="info" %}
Using New File is recommended because it deletes the "current file" setting that the app uses to maintain the current script being edited. This will prevent you accidentally modifying the wrong file!&#x20;
{% endhint %}

#### Other basic buttons:

Now let's write some code!
