# Experiments

> Learn how FlaskNote structures experiment notebooks, protocols, and version history.

Experiments are the core notebook unit in FlaskNote.

Each experiment lives inside a project and gives you a structured place to capture both the plan and the execution of a piece of lab work.

## What an experiment contains

The current editor supports notebook sections such as:

* a title and status
* tags for filtering and organization
* description and notebook metadata
* a procedure or protocol written in rich text
* reaction scheme media
* stoichiometry data
* workup and purification notes
* analytical data and supporting media
* TLC plates
* data tables
* uploaded media and gallery content

## Why the notebook structure matters

FlaskNote is trying to keep the daily scientific workflow together instead of splitting it across disconnected tools.

That means the notebook is not just a text editor. It is the place where your protocol, calculations, context, and supporting materials stay connected.

## Version history

Version history is one of the product's core safety features.

You should be able to:

* save meaningful checkpoints
* review earlier versions
* restore a previous version when you need to recover from a bad edit

The current app also treats notebook safety as more than a history list. Save validation, local draft recovery, and permission-aware editing are part of keeping experiment data trustworthy.

If you are documenting experiments for a team, make version history part of your working habit early.

## Recommended notebook habits

* keep titles specific enough that someone else can scan them later
* use tags consistently across a project
* write protocols as if another researcher will need to reproduce them
* treat notebook status as a real operational signal, not decorative metadata
