2. Select **Create New**
3. Enter name, abbreviation, language, and text direction for the project.
4. Select **Upload File** and provide a [target text](/clear-aligner/file-formats/target-text.md) file. Samples are available [here](https://drive.google.com/drive/u/1/folders/14vVKUGHc05SQxVXMyQ5E813lv4qQeTeA).
