# Personas

There are two ways to create personas: either from the dashboard or from within a journey map.&#x20;

### **From the dashboard**

-> click on `Personas` in the navigation and then on `+ Create persona` in the top right.

Here, you can edit persona details such as the name, the layout and add relevant sections from our persona template. Once you click `Create`, you'll be directed to the full persona editor, where you can add more content to it, e.g., a persona description, images, text, icons, or sliders.
