# Create a new dashboard

Creating a new dashboard in a Git Sync provisioned folder follows the standard Grafana dashboard creation process. The key difference is selecting a provisioned folder as the location, which ensures the dashboard is tracked by Git Sync and saved to your connected repository.

To create a new dashboard in a Git Sync provisioned folder, complete the following steps:

1. In Grafana, click **Dashboards** in the navigation menu.
2. Click **New > Dashboard**.
3. Click **Add visualization** to begin building your dashboard.
4. Select a data source for your visualization.
   
   For example, select `Prometheus`.
5. Configure your query and visualization as needed.
   
   For example, enter a PromQL query like `rate(http_requests_total[5m])` and select a **Time series** visualization.
6. Click **Apply** to add the visualization to the dashboard.

The dashboard is created with your first visualization. The dashboard remains unsaved until you save it to a Git Sync provisioned folder, which you’ll do in the next milestone.

In the next milestone, you’ll save the dashboard to Git using Git Sync workflows.
