# Creating a project

A project is the highest physical structure for storing all different types of items. Once you launch your Talend Studio and before you start a Business Model, a data integration Job, a Route, or any other tasks, you need first create or import a project.

Information noteNote:

The support for Apache Subversion version control servers is deprecated from the 7.3.1 R2021-08 release onwards and will be removed in the next major release.

If you are working on SVN projects, you can migrate them to Git. For more information, see [Migrating from SVN to Git](https://help.qlik.com/talend/r/en-US/7.3/administration-center-user-guide/migrating-from-svn-to-git).
