# Preferred Transcripts

The Preferred Transcripts section allows you to upload a preferred transcript file that defines which transcripts for a gene are preferred. These transcripts are prioritized over other transcripts of the gene when the default transcript for a variant is determined. For more information, refer to [Transcripts](/connected-insights/interpret-and-report/inter-transcripts.md).

Upload the preferred transcript file as follows.

1. On the top toolbar, select **Configuration**, and then select the **General** tab.
2. Select **Preferred Transcripts**.
3. If there are no preferred transcripts, select **Create One**.
4. For Template File, select **Upload** and select your transcript file. You can also download a template to customize and upload as your preferred transcript file.
5. Select **Open**.
6. After the file displays, Select **Save**.
7. Select **Download & View** to download the transcript file.
8. \[Optional] To upload an updated version of the file, select **Upload New Version**.
