An empty project includes the TIBCO Designer default palettes and their resources.By default when you open a new project, TIBCO Designer prompts you immediately where you want to save it. You may provide the location or click the Cancel button. If you do not want to see this dialog each time you create a new project, choose Edit > Preferences > General and unselect Show save dialog for new project. New project from template Opens a predefined project template. A project template is a pre-built project. It can contain folders, configured resources, and partially configured resources. Resources are the components of each project (see Resources).A project template can be preconfigured to include all the resources you may need for a certain type of project (for example, Web Services configuration). Using a template makes it possible to leverage an existing configuration when creating new projects.See Project Templates for information on creating project templates.
