# Start creating

> Choose a category and subcategory to start creating a VisuoLab resource.

The **Resource Creator** lets you publish materials in the VisuoLab Portal. Start by choosing one of four categories and, when available, a subcategory that represents the content.

## Start a new resource

In **My Resources**, use **Publish new resource**. In the English interface, this action appears as **Create resource** in the **Create new resource** card.

The **What do you want to create?** screen shows the four categories:

<Frame caption="Resource Creator start screen with four categories. English interface.">

  The screenshots show an account with administrative options. The **ID / Edit banner** strip is for interface administration and is not part of choosing a category.

  </Accordion>

    </Frame>
  </Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>

## Check your selection

The selected category is **highlighted in blue**. Check that it matches the content you want to publish and choose a subcategory when requested.

<Frame caption="Example: Library Resource and Literature selected in blue.">
  <img src="https://mintcdn.com/levante-lab/2x-_uLVXyQKb1NzG/images/resource-creator-confirm.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=2x-_uLVXyQKb1NzG&q=85&s=18c1ce44aa6c55aea621e9d3517742fa" alt="Example: Library Resource and Literature selected in blue." width="465" data-path="images/resource-creator-confirm.png" />
</Frame>

<Tip>
  The **category** indicates where the material will be organized. The **publication type** indicates how it will be presented — for example, a file, link or V-Book.
</Tip>

<Note>
  Categories, subcategories and control names may vary by installation. Use the options shown in your interface. A resource’s classification does not determine the interface language or, by itself, the content’s sign language.
</Note>

## Continue creating

After choosing the classification, continue with the steps for the available publication type. Tutorials for **publishing files**, **publishing links**, **creating V-Books** and **reviewing and publishing** will be provided on separate pages in this group.

To find materials in preparation or submitted for review, open **My Resources → Draft**.
