# Creating a New Experiment
Every experiment starts from the My Experiments page.
To create one:
1. Select ' New Experiment' at the top of the screen
2. Enter an Experiment Name (required) and an optional Description
3. Click Create
This creates the experiment shell and drops you straight into the Experiment Builder to design it.
## Browsing your experiments
My Experiments is split into four tabs:
* All Experiments — everything you have access to
* Anthriq Experiments — built-in experiments from Anthriq, ready to use as-is or as a starting point
* Custom Experiments — experiments you've built yourself
* Draft Experiments — anything still in progress
Each experiment shows as a card with its status, session count, and last updated date.
## Working with drafts
A draft is an experiment you've started but haven't published. From the Draft Experiments tab, you can:
* Duplicate it to branch off a variation
* Delete it to remove it permanently (can't be undone)
* Open it to keep editing in the Builder
Publishing a draft from the Builder is what makes it available to run sessions on.
Want me to reformat Getting Started the same way, or move on to The Experiment Builder?
