+<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 &gt; 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.
+</p>
+<p>
+  See also <a href="/working-with-tracks/adding-tracks-and-busses/">Adding Tracks and Busses</a> for information 
+  on templates for individual tracks or busses.
