Create or add a pad

Click on the "new pad" button to create or add a pad

You'll see this:

• Pad name (URL): set the pad name if you know it. For example if the pad address you want to add is https://pad.disroot.org/p/test just add test here.
• Pad Alias: you can an alias if the pad address/name doesn't make to much sense to you. For example, if the pad address is https://pad.disroot.org/p/1r4o_f6-Rzc you may want to set Shopping_list as an alias!
• Choose a server: you can choose any server. If you set Disroot in your server list as explained above, then you can choose Disroot now.
