You should generally be able to use Quarto to render any existing Rmd document without changes. Quarto is designed to be highly compatible with existing R Markdown documents. Options are also provided for creating a git repository and initializing an renv environment for the project. You can use this UI to create both vanilla projects as well as websites and books. If you want to create a new project for a Quarto document or set of documents, use the File : New Project… command, specify New Directory, then choose Quarto Project: Side-by-side preview works for both HTML and PDF output. The preview will update whenever you re-render the document. The preview will appear alongside the editor: If you prefer to automatically render whenever you save you can check the Render on Save option on the editor toolbar. Use the Render button to preview documents as you edit them: Use the File : New File : Quarto Document… command to create new Quarto documents: Alternatively, there is a version of Quarto built-in to RStudio that you can activate from R Markdown Preferences. If you have already installed the Quarto CLI then RStudio will detect this and enable Quarto features automatically.
