Prerequisites:

For Qt beginners on Win11 who is not having so much deep knowledge of configure, make (or cmake) before project building

Problem:

Qt Creator manual 13.0.1 "building and running example" page does not have instrutctions to configre (or to import) other's project.

Suggestion:

If all users need to configure the project when they import other's project, it might be helpful to add a step of project settings to click the configure project button in the manual.

Background:

When I opened the sample project suggested in the Qt Creator tutorial, the project settings menu appeared as shown below. However, the sample build instructions did not mention the project configuration step (clicking ‘Configure Project’), so I ignored it. As a result, the project only contained a CMake file, and I received a warning that ‘this file is not part of any project…’ when trying to build the samples. The same issue occurred when I tried to import someone else’s project.
