manual/include/session-templates.html

<p>
  <dfn>Session templates</dfn> are a way to store the setup of a session
  for future use. They do not store any <em>audio</em> data but can store:
</p>
<ul>
  <li>The number of tracks and busses, along with their names</li>
  <li>The plugins present on each track or bus (if any)</li>
  <li>All I/O connections</li>
</ul>

<h2>Creating a Session Template</h2>
<p>
  The <kbd class="menu">Session &gt; Save Template</kbd> shows a dialog asking
  for the name of the new template, and a description.
</p>

<h2>Using a Session Template</h2>
<p>
  In the <a href="@@newopen-session-dialog">New Session dialog</a>, a panel lists the different
  template (factory and user-created).
</p>
<p>
  See also <a href="@@adding-tracks-busses-and-vcas">Adding Tracks and Busses</a>
  for information on templates for individual tracks or busses.
