    The Environments Closeddialog box opens.

    Environments dialog box showing the location of the new option.

  2. Click New.

    The Add Environment dialog box opens.

  3. Enter a Name for the new environment, and then click OK.

    NOTE: After you add content to the child pages, a Preview Closedicon appears in the toolbar. Click the icon to see a Closedpreview of the mobile screen.
