# The +Create explained

## Search & book, handling requests, and add a tracking-only shipment.

The "**+Create**" button serves multiple purposes. You will be presented with these three choices — Search & book, Book from a template, and add a tracking-only shipment.

1. **[Booking](https://help.shypple.com/en/articles/5501799-how-to-book-a-shipment-from-scratch?hsLang=en)**: If you have a **new shipment** that you'd like to arrange from scratch, clicking the "Search & book" option allows you to initiate the booking request.                                
2. **[Handling request](https://help.shypple.com/en/articles/8803973-how-to-request-local-handling-for-shipments?hsLang=en)**: When your shipment is on the way and **needs local handling services, such as customs, terminal handling, or delivery,** our new local handling booking flow is the perfect solution.                                        
3. **[Add a tracking-only shipment](https://help.shypple.com/en/articles/8330592-how-to-add-an-existing-shipment?hsLang=en)**: In cases where you want to **track the progress of a booked shipment** with a different forwarder, the add your shipments option is your option to go.
