# Plate Creation from Vials Overview

The `Plate Creation from Vials` workflow in Sample enables users to create new plates by transferring liquid samples directly from individual vials. Users can define the target plate layout, specifying exactly where each sample will be placed.

With this workflow, you can:

- Select specific vials to populate a new plate according to your experimental requirements.
- Ensure complete traceability of sample origins and transfers, as all actions are recorded within Sample.

This workflow streamlines the process of assembling plates from vials, reduces manual errors, and supports efficient laboratory operations.
