1. In the Content tab of your organization, click Create app > Instant Apps.

2. In the Create tab, click Choose button for the "Basic" template.

3. Click Create app. For this tutorial, name the app Santa Monica Trails and add your desired tags.

Configure your web app

With your app created, you can now configure the app by adding the LA Parks and Trails scene.

1. Click on Step 1. Map > Select a map or scene.

2. Click on the My content dropdown > ArcGIS Online.
