44 +If you are sending crystals of a new protein, it is important that you create an entry for the protein, since you will not be able to upload or save information from an unknown sample. To create a protein follow these steps:
45 45  
46 46  * Click on **Proteins and Crystals** in the upper menu bar (Fig. 3).
47 47  * Select **Add new protein**. You can also display the **List** to check is the protein is already present.
48 -* Enter the protein name and acronym and click **Save**. Acronym will be used by the software.
49 -* In **Proteins and Crystals, List **you find all your added proteins (you might need to refresh the page). Here it is also possible to add crystal forms, however, our MXCuBE is currently not able to use this information yet.
48 +* Enter the protein name and acronym and click **Save**. The name is merely descriptive and will not be used by the software.
49 +* If you wish to enter and save the space group and unit cell, look for the protein in the list and click on the **Crystal form** tab at the right of the card. This information is not compulsory and can also be added at a later stage for each crystal in the sample information list.

58 -* After you have added all your proteins to EXI, return to your shipment by selecting **List** in the **Shipment** dropdown menu. In the list of your shipments on the left side of the window (you might need to refresh the page to show the newly created shipment) you find your shipments with the most recently created on top. Click on the shipment card to open the shipment information.
58 +* To add containers and sample information go back to your shipment by selecting **List** in the **Shipment** dropdown menu. That will show a list of your shipments in the left side of the window in inverse order of creation (you might need to refresh the page to show the newly created shipment). Click anywhere on the shipment card to open the shipment information.
59 59  * A practical way to enter information about the parcels, containers and samples included in the shipment is by uploading a CSV file.
60 60  * The upload menu is accessed by clicking the **Import from CSV** button in the shipment card (Fig. 4). The example file below will generate a parcel called Dewar1 containing seven Unipucks fully loaded with crystals of different proteins.
61 61  * After saving the sample list, you can edit the information by going to the shipment page, clicking on the containers and selecting **Edit**. That will display the sample list for that container. You can also make corrections to the CSV file, then delete the parcel by clicking on the “Edit” icon to the right of the parcel pane and clicking on **Remove**, and finally reload the corrected CSV again.
