Then, we can either create a new document or open an existing one

There are other VisiHow videos on how to do that. We can see that an existing document has been opened in the tutorial. We can see that there are several layers on the right-hand side.

Other good options for "Perspective" are "Skew" or "Distort"
.
There are other VisiHow videos about those effects. However, "Skew" and "Distort" may be more limiting or more fiddly, depending on for what we are going, whereas "Perspective" is very simple for changing and editing the perspective.
