# Create Change Set Items

:lock: ChangeSet.**Edit**

## Overview

This operation is used to create a new **Change Set** item (optionally creating the entity instance that it contains) and add it to the list of items that belong to a **Change Set**.

## Setup

No special setup is required other than to meet the preconditions of the transaction.

## Preconditions

* **Change Set** exists and it is in Active or Created state.

## Sequence of Steps

1. Select an appropriate **Change Set**, navigate to the *Items* section and select the *Create* button.
2. Select the Entity Type to create.
3. There are two options to add a new **Change Set** item:
      * If you want to create a new entity instance from the type selected above, select *Create* and you will be presented with the dialog to create a new version of that entity type.
      * If you want to create a new version for an existing object, select the Entity Instance from which you want to create a new version and select the *New Version* button.
4. Fill in the appropriate details. When the wizard completes, the MES will navigate to the new object.

    !!! note
        The original **Change Set** tab will remain open and navigating to it will show the new Change Set item wizard open and ready for user interaction.

5. Select **Close** to complete the operation.
