Joomla4: How to create new module from backend?

Joomla 4 is an advanced version of Joomla 3 and modules are a block of content, that can be placed anywhere in the template layout basis on layout positions. So Let me explain in Joomla: How to create a new module from the backend?

Create a Module from the Backend

Go to the backend (administrator) where you can see there you can see “site” container left side area and within that area, you can see boxes of important links like plugins, media, modules, etc.

So click on modules and then you will redirect to the module manager and where you can see all defaults modules. If you want to create a new default module which is provided by Joomla you can create it by clicking on the New Button and then you can see their list of module types so select your required type of module.
