+= Create a VM from a template by using the web console
+
+[role="_abstract"]
+You can use the *Create from Template* workflow in the web console to create a virtual machine (VM) by selecting a pre-configured template that provides standardized images and settings.
+
+Use this workflow when:
+
+* A template matches your workload requirements and operating system.
+* You want to use a pre-configured VM with standardized settings.
+* You want to quickly deploy a VM with minimal customization.
+
+.Prerequisites
+
+* You have access to the {product-title} web console.
+* You have `edit` or `admin` permissions in the target project.
+* A template with an available boot source exists in the cluster.
+
+.Procedure
+
+. In the {product-title} web console, navigate to *Virtualization* -> *VirtualMachines*.
+. Click *Create*.
+. On the *Deployment details* page, select the creation method, enter general information, and define the location:
+.. Select *Create from Template*.
+.. In the *Name* field, enter a name for the VM. You can also click the refresh icon to generate a name automatically.
+.. Optional: Enter a *Description* for the VM.
+.. Review the *Location* to verify the target cluster and project. If the folder preview feature is enabled, you can also verify the folder. To change the location, click the edit icon.
+.. Click *Next*.
+. On the *Template* page, select a template:
+.. Optional: Filter the template list by using one or more of the following options:
++
+* *All projects*: Select a project or view templates from all projects.
+* *Filter*: Filter templates by user templates, deprecated status, boot source availability, operating system, workload type, or architecture.
+* *Filter by keyword*: Enter a keyword to search for a specific template.
++
+.. Click a template tile to select it and view its details.
+.. Click *Next*.
+. On the *Customization* page, optionally configure advanced settings by navigating the following tabs:
++
+* *Details*: Configure the *Hostname*, *Headless mode*, *Guest system log access*, and *Deletion protection*.
+* *Storage*: Add or modify storage disks.
+* *Network*: Add network interfaces.
+* *Scheduling*: Configure scheduling requirements and the run strategy.
+* *SSH*: Configure SSH key settings.
+* *Initial run*: Define *Cloud-init* or *Sysprep* initialization scripts.
+* *Labels and annotations*: Add labels to help organize and categorize VMs, and use annotations to store extra metadata.
++
+.. Click *Next*.
+. On the *Review and create* page, review the VM configuration:
+.. Optional: Select the *Start this VirtualMachine after creation* checkbox.
+.. Click *Create VirtualMachine*.
+
+.Verification
+
+* Navigate to *Virtualization* -> *VirtualMachines* and verify that the VM appears in the list.
