**(1) Wallet name:** Give a name for your wallet (in this example `ledger-test` is used).
**(2) Restore Height (optional):** If you know the block height that your wallet was created at, you can specify it here so the wallet doesn't have to scan the entire blockchain looking for your funds. For example, if your first transaction was included in block `1350000`, you should put a slightly lower height (e.g. `1330000`) so the wallet will start scanning from there, saving you some time.
**(3) Subaddress lookahead (optional):** pregenerate a number of accounts with a number of subaddresses each

**(5) Wallet location:** Select the destination folder of the wallet.
