Open the **destination plate picker** for a file. At the bottom of the picker, use **Create new plate**: enter the plate name you want and click **Use name**. The name does not have to match the CSV file name — for example, you can upload `PLATE-001.csv` (which auto-selects an existing `PLATE-001`) and still target a brand-new plate named `PLATE-001-RUN2`. If your search text does not match any existing plate, a **Create new plate: …** shortcut appears above the list. Names must be unique; if a plate with that name already exists, select it from the list instead.

When a new name is selected, the picker shows **New plate** and the upload step reminds you that a storage location is assigned on the next step.
