How to make level the default level?

There are tons of tutorials, and most of them require a brand new project with the minimal amount of actors in the level – things like sky lights and a floor. There is no such project template in UE 5.1.0. The closest is the Film > Blank project template, but the camera has circular things on the camera view port.

I’ve found (from help that I got here) though that one can create a new level (File > New Level… > Basic), and it has this basic minimal amount of actors.

My question is: I’ve created a new level. How do I make it the default level? That is, how can I delete the default level and make a new level the new default?

Thanks for any help that you can provide.

Edit > Project Settings > Maps & Modes

Then select which level you want for:

Editor Startup Map (Map loaded when you start the editor)
Game Default Map (Map loaded when you start the game)

If you press the two arrows at the bottom you’ll also find Default Server Map & Transition Map along with the Level Options string. :cowboy_hat_face:
