-The elements of the New Project Creator Window are explained below:
+The **Project Type** chooses between an empty template project of one of the base classes, or a :doc:`WPILib example project </docs/software/examples-tutorials/wpilib-examples>`. Additionally, a template exists for :ref:`Command-based <docs/software/commandbased/commands-v2/what-is-command-based:What is "command-based" programming?>` projects, which are built on the :code:`TimedRobot` base class but include a number of additional features - this type of robot program is highly recommended for new teams.
 
-1. **Project Type**: The kind of project we wish to create.  This can be an example project, or one of the project templates provided by WPILib.  Templates exist for each of the robot base classes.  Additionally, a template exists for :ref:`Command-based <docs/software/commandbased/commands-v2/what-is-command-based:What is "command-based" programming?>` projects, which are built on the :code:`TimedRobot` base class but include a number of additional features - this type of robot program is highly recommended for new teams.
-2. **Language**: This is the language (C++ or Java) that will be used for this project.
-3. **Base Folder**: If this is a template project, this specifies the type of template that will be used.
-4. **Project Location**: This determines the folder in which the robot project will be located.
-5. **Project Name**: The name of the robot project.  This also specifies the name that the project folder will be given if the Create New Folder box is checked.
-6. **Create a New Folder**: If this is checked, a new folder will be created to hold the project within the previously-specified folder.  If it is *not* checked, the project will be located directly in the previously-specified folder.  An error will be thrown if the folder is not empty and this is not checked.
-7. **Team Number**: The team number for the project, which will be used for package names within the project and to locate the robot when deploying code.
-8. **Enable Desktop Support**: Enables unit test and simulation support (see :doc:`/docs/software/wpilib-tools/robot-simulation/introduction`).
+After making the selections, click :guilabel:`Next`.
 
-   - **Java**: This option has no effect and can be left checked or unchecked
-   - **C++**: Checking this option enables desktop compilation, which is required for simulation and unit tests
-   - **Romi/XRP**: This option has no effect for Romi and XRP templates and can be left checked or unchecked
+This will bring up the language and base selection window.
 
-   .. note:: While WPILib fully supports desktop builds, some third-party vendor libraries may not. If a library doesn't support desktop compilation, your C++ code may not compile or may crash when running simulation.
