# Create a new App ## App or Module? A [Module](https://docs.lowcoder.cloud/lowcoder-documentation/build-applications/create-a-new-app/modules) is a special type of App, which can be **re-used** inside of other Modules or Apps and especially it is possible to [embed](https://docs.lowcoder.cloud/lowcoder-documentation/publish-apps/embed-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](https://docs.lowcoder.cloud/lowcoder-documentation/publish-apps/embed-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.
