Protocol Library

Your saved protocols, versioning, and forks.

Last updated July 2026

The Protocol Library stores all generated and manually designed protocols. Every protocol is versioned, and versions are retained with your account.

Filtering & Search

Filter your library by scientific field using the tag pills at the top of the Library page. Filter to Starred protocols using the star filter. URL-based filtering means filters are shareable and bookmark-able.

Quality Scores in Library View

Each protocol card shows the overall quality score (average of four sub-scores) with a color-coded bar. Protocols scoring 85+ are shown in green, 70–84 in purple, 55–69 in amber, and below 55 in red.

Versioning & Fork Lineage

Every refinement creates a new version, and the current version number is shown in the protocol detail view, with before/after snapshots recorded for each change. Protocols can also be forked (copied into your own library as a new starting point), and Olto preserves the fork lineage so you can trace a protocol back to the public original it descended from.

Team Sharing

On the Lab plan and above, protocols shared with your team appear in a dedicated "Shared with my team" section of the library and the overview, governed by row-level security so only members of the owning organization can see them. See Teams & Collaboration.

Starring

Star important protocols for quick access. Starred protocols appear at the top of filtered views and in your dashboard. Click the star icon from any protocol card or detail view.
