new file

Empty starting point

A new file is a document or data container that has just been created and typically contains no content yet.

In computing interfaces, "New File" appears as a menu option or command to create a blank document: Click File, then New File to start.

The term applies across contexts—word processors, code editors, file managers—anywhere digital documents are created.
