This will put the Sales Channel Setup table in Edit mode, indicated by the yellow (Edit Mode) next to the title. 

To create your online store, enter a name for this sales channel in the **Channel Name** field. 

Once you have entered the name, the **Save** button will turn yellow and you can save your new online sales channel.
