Pick the project's dependencies:
- dependencies are other projects (and/or mods) on which the current project relies to work
- a project cannot be loaded if a dependency is missing
- the dependency link is one-way: a dependency does not need the current project in order to be loaded
- Arma Reforger is a default dependency: an Arma Reforger mod needs Arma Reforger data to run properly
Click "OK" to create the project.

Et voilà ! The project is created and the Workbench is waiting for input.

Clicking "Create New" will bring the following pop-up
