# Preparation

We start with creating a copy of a template for the Investment Calculator. 

1. Login to nedyx. This will take you to the **My Apps** page. 
2. Duplicate the app *Getting started* by clicking on **Duplicate App** in the three dots menu:

**Note**: You can type in whatever you like, nobody else is able to see or open your app until you share it with others.&#x20;

4\. Now click on the app tile to open the app. This opens the app in Live mode, the standard usage mode of nedyx apps.&#x20;

In the left **Navigation** area, you see the pages of your app. Currently the app contains only one page named *Calculator*.&#x20;

5\. Click on the Edit mode button. ![](https://content.gitbook.com/content/4X6nN2wTlDsVpd8P1WDM/blobs/7wbiTV74S8gdPO52NDHn/grafik.png)
