How to create a protocol template ?

A protocol template allows you to create a protocol (predefined series of connected and configured processes) that can be reused in the future. By using a protocol template, you can easily set up a new preconfigured experiment, ensuring consistency. Additionally, the protocol template can be shared with other labs, included in lab reports, or documented within a community.

Currently, the protocol template can only be created from an existing experiment. Here's how to do it:

1. Open the desired experiment.
2. Click on the menu button.
3. Select Protocol and then choose Create protocol template.
4. Give the template a name and provide a description if desired (the description will be automatically copied to experiments created from this template).
