  ⚠

  Be sure to pick a location where the current Windows user has write permissions (e.g C:\Users\Username\Documents - not C:\Program Files).
  ⓘ

  The default project directory's location is %userProfile%\Documents\My Games\ArmaReforgerWorkbench\addons; the default project name (and directory name) is New Enfusion Project - it can only contain letters, numbers, ampersands, spaces, dashes, dots and underscores.
• 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.

ⓘ

The addon.gproj file can be renamed to have a more fitting name; the project will then need to be re-added to the Projects list on Workbench opening.
