To complete the course I need to “create a property” for the practical exercise, but I don’t have that option available in my free account. What can I do?

Hello @stamura you must have [_Edit property settings_ permissions](https://knowledge.hubspot.com/settings/hubspot-user-permissions-guide?_ga=2.9699187.739114677.1651766840-1197051296.1651766840#crm-settings-access) to create or edit properties. The number of custom properties you can create depends on [your HubSpot subscription.](https://legal.hubspot.com/hubspot-product-and-services-catalog?&_ga=2.9699187.739114677.1651766840-1197051296.1651766840#TechnicalLimits)

If you [downgrade to HubSpot’s free tools](https://knowledge.hubspot.com/account/downgrade-a-paid-subscription#downgrading-to-hubspot%E2%80%99s-free-tools), you can view and edit existing custom properties but cannot create new properties if you already exceed the limit. Looks like you had downgraded. I would recommend in this case creating a new HubSpot free account to associate this exercise. If you are a user that has access to multiple HubSpot accounts, **you can switch between your HubSpot accounts after logging in.**

I hope this information helps.
