Prepare the source document

Use an authorized DOCX or text-layer PDF no larger than 10 MB. Remove unrelated material and confirm that the file is the intended version.

Upload and wait for processing

Choose Import from the protocol catalog, select the file, and wait for scanning and parsing to finish. Processing may produce one or more protocol candidates.

Review every extracted candidate

Check the title, section boundaries, text, tables, warnings, taxonomy, and tags against the source document. Correct extraction issues in the candidate editor.

Save the verified draft

Create the draft only after review. Complete the normal protocol approval and publishing process from the editor.

Keep support material free of protected information
