<p>

+ for the name of the new template, and a description.
</p>
<h2>Using a Session Template</h2>
<p>
- In the New Session dialog, a combo selector allows to choose the desired
- template.
+ In the <a href="@@newopen-session-dialog">New Session dialog</a>, a panel lists the different
+ template (factory and user-created).
</p>
-<p class="note">
- An existing session can also be used 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.
