**To create a standalone Amazon Cognito userpool**

1. Launch an Amazon Cognito-only stack by choosing a quick-create link labeled with same Amazon Web Services Region in which you deploy your PCUI instances from this list:

1. After stack creation completes, select the **Outputs** tab and copy the values of the following parameters:
   + `UserPoolId`
   + `UserPoolAuthDomain`
   + `SNSRole`

1. Deploy a new PCUI instance by choosing an PCUI quick-start link and filling in all `External PCUI Amazon Cognito` parameters with the values that you copied. The new PCUI instance links to the standalone Amazon Cognito user pool and doesn't create a nested stack or a new user pool. You can deploy subsequent new PCUI instances that have the same parameter values, and you can link them to the standalone Amazon Cognito user pool.
