This document provides an overview of preservation planning and the Plato tool. It discusses the preservation planning workflow, which involves defining requirements, identifying sample objects, evaluating preservation strategies, and developing experiments to test strategies. The Plato tool supports the workflow by assisting with requirements definition, running experiments, and documenting results to produce a preservation plan. The presentation encourages participants to practice the workflow through exercises involving a scenario of preserving scanned yearbooks.
