### Select an Existing Project

If the data files are stored in a BioInsight Platform Core project, check the box of "I want to choose my preferred BioInsight Platform Core project" and select a BioInsight Platform Core project to ingest data from. The project list will only display the projects accessible to your workgroup. When adding data to your study, the available data will come from the BioInsight Platform Core project you select.

If you don't have a BioInsight Platform Core project before creating study, you can type in new project name to create one, and then upload files to the project in BioInsight Platform Core after new project creation.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://help.bioinsight.illumina.com/icm/studies/create-study.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
