The Protocol Editor is part of **Corti** **Engage**. To access the Protocol Editor, **Protocol Graph Editor app** permission is required

### 1. Introduction

The **Protocol Editor - Main view** is where you can view and manage all of your organization's call protocols. 

There is a three step process in producing a protocol for use. New graphs (protocols) will automatically be allocated draft status, and can be freely edited in the [**Single Branch View**](https://help.corti.ai/protocol-editor?hsLang=en)until ready for use. The **Single Branch View** also allows you to save your draft to work on later. 

As well as starting from scratch, you can make a draft from a **Released** (ready to use) or **Active** (in use) protocols. While these graphs cannot be edited directly, you can import their settings into a [**new draft**](https://help.corti.ai/how-to-create-a-draft-from-a-released-or-active-graph?hsLang=en) to refine procedures or make updates. This will make a new **version** of your protocol, whilst saving the original for future reference. 

New draft protocols or draft versions can both be saved and edited until they are ready for [**release**](https://help.corti.ai/set-a-graph-as-released?hsLang=en).

### 2. Step-By-Step Guidance

You can open your drafts for editing from the **Protocol Editor - Main View**

1. Select the graph  from the list on the **[Left Sidebar](https://help.corti.ai/main-view-the-left-sidebar?hsLang=en)**. This will open the graph and display current/previous versions
2. Once you identified the graph and version you want to work with click on the ellipsis (**...**) to the right and selecting **Open in Editor** (you may also click directly on the version name)
3. This will open the graph in the [**Single Node View**](https://help.corti.ai/the-node-view?hsLang=en)

**Note:** It is only possible to edit graphs with **draft** status in the single node view. **Released** or **active** graphs may be opened in a read-only format.
