What is the first step Rob takes to create a new metadata group?

To create a new metadata group, the first step is to initiate the process, which typically begins by clicking on an option to create or add a new entry. In this context, selecting the "New" option is correct because it directly begins the creation of a new metadata group. This action is essential as it opens up the necessary fields or forms that need to be populated with information regarding the new group.

The other choices represent different actions that do not align with the initial step of creating a new metadata group. "Edit" suggests modifying an existing entry rather than initiating a new one, while "Add" might imply adding items to an existing group, not creating a new group itself. "Configure" may involve setting parameters or adjusting settings for an already established group rather than starting the creation process. By selecting "New," Rob is effectively starting his task of forming a fresh metadata group from scratch.
