# Welcome Screen

A Welcome screen is displayed when no project is opened. For example, when you run Robpod Studio for the first time, or when you close the only open instance of a project. From this screen, you can [create a new project,](/get-started/first-steps/create-a-project.md) [import](https://www.jetbrains.com/help/pycharm/importing-project-from-existing-source-code.html), open, or [check out](https://www.jetbrains.com/help/pycharm/version-control-integration.html) an existing project from version control.
