What are the steps to create a monolingual file as a LiveDoc document and assign it to a Project ?

I assume you know how to put a bilingual file into a Project.
A monolingual file uses the same procedure.

In the Project, either create a new LiveDocs collection or else import the file into an existing collection, by right-clicking in the lower pane and selecting Import document.
Select the document from the window which opens, and change/add any details you wish before importing.

At that point, if the LiveDocs collection is selected, then it is part of you... See more

on the window Document Import options ?

The source language of the document to be translated is English, and the target is Spanish.

The monolingual document used as LiveDoc is in Spanish

For the sake of curiosity... Jul 5, 2018

may I ask what are the benefits to add a monolingual doc? I know it can be done but I don't really understand why since there is no "counterparts"?

You can use it in concordance searching, so if you think you want to translate a term / phrase a certain way, you can use the concordance to quickly check whether your reference document uses the term / phrase that same way. That's if your monolingual doc is in the target language, of course. I've never uploaded a monolingual doc in the source language and offhand can't think of a good reason to do so.
