The home button moves the probe back to the current reference coordinate (defined in the Atlas settings). The snap to dura button snaps the probe back to the surface of the brain, moving only along the depth axis.

3. Open the experiment edit panel to add and remove experiments and re-name them. Experiments are just buckets, you can use them in any way you want: to represent mice, to actually represent different experiments, to represent differents sets of insertions targeting particular brain regions, etc.

4. Select the current active experiment from the dropdown. This will change the visible list of insertions below.

5. The insertion list shows the insertions in the active experiment. You can rename insertions, delete them from the experiment, and enable/disable them in the 3D scene. Coming soon: we will add options to mark insertions as "recorded" so that we can calculate coverage maps for experiments.

6. Any time your local data is out-of-sync with the data stored on the server the "unsaved changes" message will appear. If you are using Pinpoint in a browser **please note that unsaved changes do not get saved if you exit the browser**, the program auto-saves changes about once a minute. If you are using Pinpoint in a desktop app, exiting will automatically save all changes.

## Surgery

To use your coordinates for a surgery, rotate the manipulator to match the azimuth angle (phi) and set the probe elevation angle (theta). Then move your probe tip to Bregma and zero your manipulator. (Optional: move your probe tip to Lambda and record the distance from Bregma to Lambda, then enter that into the Atlas settings in Pinpoint). We recommend using the technique shown in  when estimating the position of Bremga and Lambda on the skull (i.e. align the "curve" between the sutures, not the exact point where they attach).
