+<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>
+ Choose <kbd class="menu">Session > Save Template</kbd>. A dialog will ask
+ you for the name of the new template.
+</p>
+<h2>Using a Session Template</h2>
+<p>
+ In the New Session dialog, choose the desired template from the combo
+ selector.
+</p>
+<p>
+ Note that you can also use an existing session as a template, without
+ saving it as one. This is available as an option in the New Session dialog.
+ Doing this will not alter the existing session at all, but will use its track,
+ bus and plugin configuration just like a template.
