<h5>Creation of a new diagram</h5>
The model development process is initiated by creation of the model network or {{Type link|diagram}}. A new diagram can be made in the <b>Work Space</b> by two methods: 
<ol>
<li>via <b>Control Panel → New Diagram</b> (<b>Note</b>: please select the correct folder for a new diagram in your project area):

<br><br>[[File:Model_fromscratch_Fig1.png]]<br><br>

<li>via the <b>Tree Area</b> by a single click with the right mouse button on the corresponding folder of the project:

<br><br>[[File:Model_fromscratch_Fig2.png]]<br><br>
</ol>

The platform will ask you to select the {{Type link|diagram}} type and specify the {{Type link|diagram}} name you want to create in the work space. In the following, the creation of a new <b><i>“SBML model in SBGN notation”</i></b> will be described.

Upon selecting the type of a diagram and clicking <i>Ok</i> button a new node <b><i>New Diagram</i></b> will appear in the <b>Tree Area</b> and the corresponding tab is opened in the <b>Work Space</b> to start the diagram creation.

A pathway diagram opened in the work space has a tool bar as shown below:
