# Creating applications in myApplications
You can create a new application or [Onboard existing AppRegistry Applications in myApplications](myApp-step1-onboard-existing.md) created before November 8, 2023 to get started with myApplications. When you create a new application, you can add resources by searching for them and selecting them or by using existing tags.
**To create a new application**
1. Sign in to the [AWS Management Console](https://console.aws.amazon.com/).
1. Expand the left sidebar and choose **myApplications**.
1. Choose **Create application**.
1. Enter an application name.
1. (Optional) Enter an application description.
1. (Optional) Add [tags](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/whitepapers/latest/tagging-best-practices/what-are-tags.html). Tags are key-value pairs that are applied to resources to hold metadata about those resources.
**Note**
The AWS application tag is automatically applied to newly created applications. For more information, see [The AWS application tag](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/servicecatalog/latest/arguide/overview-appreg.html#ar-user-tags) in the *AWS Service Catalog AppRegistry Administrator Guide*.
1. (Optional) Add [attribute groups](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/servicecatalog/latest/arguide/create-attr-groups.html). You can use attribute groups to store application metadata.
1. Choose **Next**.
1. (Optional) Add resources:
------
#### [ Search and select resources ]
**Note**
To search and add resources, you must turn on AWS Resource Explorer. For more information, see [Getting started with AWS Resource Explorer](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/resource-explorer/latest/userguide/getting-started.html).
All added resources are tagged with the AWS application tag.
**To add resources using search**
1. Choose **Search and select resources**.
1. Choose **Select resources**.
1. (Optional) Choose a [view](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/resource-explorer/latest/userguide/manage-views-about.html).
1. Search for your resources. You can search by keyword, name or type, or choose a resource type.
**Note**
If you can't find the resource you're looking for, troubleshoot with AWS Resource Explorer. For more information, see [Troubleshooting Resource Explorer search issues](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/resource-explorer/latest/userguide/troubleshooting_search.html?icmp=docs_re_console_lm_troubleshooting) in the *Resource Explorer User Guide*.
1. Select the checkbox next to the resources you want to add.
1. Choose **Add**.
1. Choose **Next**.
1. Review your choices.
------
#### [ Automatically add resources using tags ]
When you create an application, you can bulk-onboard resources by specifying an existing tag key-value pair. With this method, AWS automatically applies the `awsApplication` tag to all of the resources tagged with the specified key-value pair, and creates a tag-sync for the application’s resources by default. With tag-sync enabled, any resources that are tagged with the specified tag key-value pair are automatically added to the application. For information about resolving tag-sync errors, see [Resolving tag-sync errors in myApplications](sync-error.md).
**Note**
Adding resources to an application using tags requires permissions to create an AppRegistry application, group and ungroup resources, and tag and untag resources. You can either add the Resource Groups [https://docs.aws.amazon.com/ARG/latest/userguide/security_iam_awsmanpol.html#security-iam-awsmanpol-ResourceGroupsTaggingAPITagUntagSupportedResources](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/ARG/latest/userguide/security_iam_awsmanpol.html#security-iam-awsmanpol-ResourceGroupsTaggingAPITagUntagSupportedResources) AWS managed policy, or you can create and maintain your own custom policy. The following permissions must be added to a user's policy statement in IAM:
`servicecatalog:CreateApplication`
`resource-groups:GroupResources`
`resource-groups:UngroupResources`
`tag:TagResources`
`tag:UntagResources`
**To add resources using existing tags**
1. Choose **Automatically add resources using tags**.
1. Select an existing tag key and value:
1. Select the **Role** used to tag resources. For more information, see [Tag-sync required permissions](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/servicecatalog/latest/arguide/app-tag-sync.html#tag-sync-role) in the *AWS Service Catalog AppRegistry Administrator Guide*.
1. Select a **Tag key**.
1. Select a **Tag value**.
1. (Optional) Choose **Preview resources** to preview which resources are tagged with the tag key-value pair.
1. Review and accept the **I acknowledge that Group Lifecycle Events will be enabled to create a tag sync** notice. GLE allows AWS to notice changes to the resources tagged with your key-value pair.
1. Choose **Next**.
1. Review your application details, the selected tag key-value pair, and the preview of the resources that will be added to the application.
**Note**
By default, creating an application using an existing tag key-value pair creates a tag-sync. After setup, tag-sync also continuously manages the application's resources, adding or removing resources as they are tagged or untagged with the specified key-value pair. You can manage tag-sync from the Manage resources page of the application.
------
1. If associating a CloudFormation stack, select the checkbox at the bottom of the page.
**Note**
