+<p>
+       There are two main uses for the Clips browser in the Editor window:
+</p>
+
+<ol>
+       <li>Reusing existing clips</li>
+       <li>Creating new clips from content in the timeline</li>
+</ol>
+
+<h2>Reusing existing clips</h2>
+
+<p>
+       You have two options how to reuse a clip in the Editor.
+</p>
+
+<ol>
+       <li>
+               Add to an existing track. Dragging and dropping a clip from the browser
+               on an existing track will add this clip to a location on the timeline
+               where you released the mouse button, snapping options apply. Audio clips
+               can only be placed on audio tracks, MIDI clips can only be placed on MIDI
+               tracks. Additionally, placing a single-channel (mono) clip
+               on a multi-channel track will create a clip where only one channel
+               is filled with the content of the original clip, the rest of the channels will be silent.
+       </li>
+       <li>
+               Create a new track. Dragging and dropping a clip below the bottom track
+               will create a new track from the clip and name it after the clip's file name.
+               Ardour will make a few judgements based on clip properties: the track will
+               contain as many channels as the audio file has. And for a MIDI clip, Ardour
+               will automatically add the "preview" virtual instrument of choice
+               to the processor box.
+       </li>
+</ol>
+
+<h2>Creating new clips</h2>
+
+<p>
+       You can create new clips for further reuse in the Editor window. Please see
+       the <a href="@@managing-custom-clips">Managing Custom Clips</a> page
+       for more detail.
