Thanks @sejas for working on this. I have tested this found couple of issues.

The whats new model appeared

As soon as open Studio, the model appeared. I found bit odd to see that but might not be related this PR. Perhaps, we should add checks to prevent this model appearing on other screens.

The actions were not clickable

I could see the replaced "Add new site" screen on empty state but none of the links/buttons were clickable. I think it has to do something with making window movable by moving it.

@gavande1 , thanks for the early review. Could you take another look.

I created a new issue STU-1066 so any decision won't block from merging this PR.

This is fixed! Could you test it again?

Thanks @sejas, this streamlines the flow to create a site by using the different options. I have tested it, and it works as expected, code changes also LGTM!

P.S. I agree with the comment in the linked task about displaying the top bar, which can be helpful if the user has logged in in a previous step. But that is something that can be discussed for a follow-up

Should we disable then the Add site button in the topbar menu when this screen for adding a site is showing since it does nothing in that case?

The changes look good 👍 , I just have one minor suggestion about disabling the Add site button in the top navigation

I created an issue to tackle that as a follow-up. STU-1068
