An artefact collection concept has been added to the system allowing user to export (nested) folders as templates, enabling groups of artefacts to be exported together as a single collection, often supporting a specific workflow. Any artefact type which can be saved as a template (that basically means all artefacts except wells and static sample sets), including dashboards, can be contained in artefact collections.

We have added support for auto-artefact collections so users can create and add their own artefact collections including adding tags, a description and a help link and we will be providing examples to illustrate their power in supporting standardised workflows.

If a sample set or palette is exported applied to several artefacts only a single instance is imported with this artefact then referenced from the other artefacts helping reduce the number of instances created.
