    1. Select an already existing project from the list by clicking the Open button or Switch button.
    2. Create a new project by clicking the New Project button.
    3. Import a project by clicking the Import button.

      Custom authentication methods include bearer authentication, SSL authentication and so on. If the custom authentication method is selected, you must provide the authentication property keys to the Custom Properties field as they are set for the Confluent Cloud Schema Registry. For example, if the Confluent Cloud Schema Registry is configured with bearer authentication, you need to provide the bearer.auth.credentials.source and bearer.auth.token. If SSL authentication is configured, the schema.registry.ssl.keystore.location, schema.registry.ssl.keystore.password and so on must be provided.
