# How to get started with the services and create resources

In the Yandex Cloud management console, you can navigate to a desired service and create resources via the dashboard or left-hand panel.

{% note info %}

If you have no button for navigation to the dashboard, activate a new interface. Do it in the [management console](https://console.yandex.cloud) settings by enabling **New dashboard** under **Appearance**.
