### Create additional portals in an environment
83+
84+
An environment can have one portal of each type and for each language. Environments with Common Data Service have [starter portal template](portal-templates.md#environment-with-common-data-service) available. If you already have a starter portal for such an environment, you can't create another starter portal for the same language. Similarly, environments with Dynamics 365 have several [portal templates](portal-templates.md#environment-with-model-driven-apps-in-dynamics-365) available. If you have a portal from one of the templates already created in a language, you can't create a new portal with the same template type and language. New portal must have either a different portal type, or a different language.
85+
86+
For example, consider a scenario where you have a Common Data Service environment without the Dynamics 365 Apps. In this environment, you have a portal with *English* language created with the template type of *Starter portal*. You want to create a new portal in this environment.
87+
88+
In this scenario, the following table explains which additional portal template and language combination is allowed when creating additional portals:
89+
90+
| Template type and language of existing portal | Template type and language of the new portal that you want to create | Allowed |
91+
| - | - | - |
92+
| *Starter portal* in English | *Starter portal* in English | ✗ |
93+
| *Starter portal* in English | *Starter portal* in French | ✓ |
94+
95+
Similarly, the following table explains the allowed template type and language combination for a portal that can be created if you have a Common Data Service environment with Dynamics 365 Apps. In this example, you have a portal with the template *Portal from blank* created in *English* language. You want to create a new portal in this environment.
96+
97+
| Template type and language of existing portal | Template type and language of the new portal that you want to create | Allowed |
98+
| - | - | - |
99+
| *Portal from blank* in English | *Portal from blank* in English | ✗ |
100+
| *Portal from blank* in English | *Community portal* in English | ✓ |
101+
| *Portal from blank* in English | *Portal from blank* in French | ✓ |
102+
103+
When an environment already has a portal of the available template type created, and if the environment doesn't have any additional languages enabled, you'll see this error message: *You have reached the maximum limit of 1 portal(s) on this environment. Please choose another environment or create new environment.*
