+## Configure the network credentials of a new Thing {#configure}
+
+1. Go to the [Things tab](https://app.arduino.cc/things) and select a Thing, or create a new Thing by clicking on the **+ Create Thing** button or the **+Thing** button in the top right corner.
+
+1. If the Thing doesn't have an associated device, go to the **Associated Device** section and click the **Select Device** button. Get help [adding a device to Arduino Cloud](https://support.arduino.cc/hc/en-us/articles/360016495559-Add-and-connect-a-device-to-Arduino-Cloud#upload-sketch) if needed.
