# Creating a Bucket

## Basic Procedure

The basic procedure for creating a bucket is described as [Step 2 of *Wasabi Getting Started*](https://docs.wasabi.com/docs/working-with-buckets-and-objects), Instructions for a quick setup are provided below. The remainder of the articles in this section, describe each configurable feature for bucket creation.

## Quick Setup

If you have an existing bucket, a “Quick Setup” area is included on the Create Bucket panel. This enables you to copy the settings from an existing bucket and create a new bucket. To do so:

1. Click in the “Quick Setup” area. A list of existing buckets is displayed. For example:

2. Select a bucket name from the drop-down list. In this example, we selected widget-project:

A message indicates that any compliance settings (as described in [Enabling Compliance](https://docs.wasabi.com/docs/compliance)) will not be copied.
3. Click **Create Bucket** to create the new bucket.
