# Biosample Workflow

Use a biosample workflow file to add biosamples and configure automation workflows.

* Add biosamples with optional library prep instructions, analysis workflows, and custom metadata.
* Add custom metadata to new biosamples
* Add or update library request instructions for new or existing biosamples
* Schedule Analysis Workflows for new or existing biosamples

### Upload a Biosample Workflow

1. From the biosamples master list, select the File drop-down arrow, point to Upload, and then select Biosample Workflow.
2. In the Upload a Biosample Workflow dialog, add your biosample workflow file.

BaseSpace Sequence Hub validates the file and identifies any errors.
