# Create a new App ## App or Module? A [Module](modules.md) is a special type of App, which can be **re-used** inside of other Modules or Apps and especially it is possible to [embed](../../publish-apps/embedd-an-app/) the Module directly in your native Web-Application outside of Lowcoder. The Editor for Apps and Modules is the same, only Modules have some extra settings and parameters regarding the embedding. If you would like to [embed](../../publish-apps/embedd-an-app/) or re-use your Application, choose "Module". If you want only to build a fullscreen Application and eventually hang it in a Navigation, use "App". {% hint style="info" %} Be aware that nested Modules "in each other" can cause a slowdown of the Application. It is always a consideration of listed elements in terms of the re-usability of child components or faster Application behavior. When creating Modules, testing regarding the speed of the overall Application and consumption of resources is necessary. {% endhint %} ## Create a new Application or Module Click **New > App** (or **Module**) on the upper right of Lowcoder Admin Page. The App or Module will get created and the view switches automatically to the App Editor. Only workspace **admins** and members of **Developers** group can create apps.
