# Add an Application

Learn how to add an Application below.

:::(Info) (**Before You Begin**)
There are two ways to create an Application and both ways produce different results. It's important that you read the following to understand the two ways.

**Understanding the two ways to create an Application**

1. **(Default Shared Users Option:)** Add an Application to an existing yawave account. This way allows you to share multiple Applications with the same set of users.

2. **(Advanced Option:)** Add an Application when logging in. Adding an Application using the Advanced Option creates a new realm. This means the new Application will not share the same users as your existing Application. Here's an example. Let's say you already have one or more Applications and users registered with your Application(s) including fans, customers, subscribers, etc. You would use the Advanced Option if you want to create a new Application that you will not share with your existing users including fans, customers, subscribers, etc.
