Hi, When creating a new perspective project "Perspective Menu Nav 8.1 and Web Nav 8.1", I have seen these two options. I don't know what is the difference between these two. ---

Both of these are optional Project Template options when creating a new project. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/e/3/e3d9a5341e7c5c2085481b57ffcbb702d1a57f93.png) The difference between them is that the Menu Nav gives you a vertical menu system along the left side of your screen, while the Web Nav gives you more of a horizontal menu along the top of your screen. Menu Nav: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/7/7/7740a698f5a11b408cf2a17e424f604b3bcc2bbe.png) Web Nav: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/e/3/e3af409cf46bd85d4894b2168ffa6d51d80f4c13.png) Of course, you don't need to use any project template - you could just start with a blank project.
