# Creating a Governance Action

**Step 0: Connect your wallet and go to the Governance Page for your Organization.**

**Step 1: Select your governance action type.**

The first step is to select whether you are creating an [Off-Chain Snapshot](/clarity-v1/key-distinctions/snapshots-vs-agora-proposals.md#snapshot-governance-actions) or an [On-Chain Agora Proposal](/clarity-v1/key-distinctions/snapshots-vs-agora-proposals.md#agora-proposals). On-chain Agora Proposals are only available to [Agora DAOs](/clarity-v1/key-distinctions/organizations-vs-agora-daos.md#agora-daos). Off-chain snapshots cover everything else.

If you choose to create an Agora Proposal, follow [this guide](/clarity-v1/participating-in-a-dao/creating-a-proposal.md) to finish creation.

If you choose an off-chain snapshot, you'll choose your type next. You can choose between [Forums](/clarity-v1/key-distinctions/snapshots-vs-agora-proposals.md#forums), [Polls](/clarity-v1/key-distinctions/snapshots-vs-agora-proposals.md#closed-polls), [Open Polls](/clarity-v1/key-distinctions/snapshots-vs-agora-proposals.md#open-polls), or [Snapshot Proposals](/clarity-v1/key-distinctions/snapshots-vs-agora-proposals.md#snapshot-proposal). Proceed to step 2.
