 **How do I know which model to use after training Casanovo?**
 
-By default, Casanovo saves a snapshot of the model weights after every 50,000 training steps.
+When running model validation, Casanovo will use the validation data to compute performance measures (training loss, validation loss, amino acid precision, and peptide precision) and print this information to the console and log file.
+At the end of each validation run and at the end of each training epoch (one complete run over the training data), Casanovo will take a snapshot of the current model weights.
+After the training job is finished, the validation snapshot that achieved the lowest **validation loss** will be saved to the output directory as `<output_root>.best.ckpt`.
+Additionally, a snapshot of the model weights at the end of each **training** epoch will be saved to the output directory as `epoch=<epoch>-step=<step>.ckpt`.
+Snapshots from previous training epochs will be overwritten with the latest training snapshot at the end of each training epoch.
+
+By default, Casanovo runs model validation every 50,000 training steps.
 Note that the number of samples that are processed during a single training step depends on the batch size.
 Therefore, the default training batch size of 32 corresponds to saving a model snapshot after every 1.6 million training samples.
-You can optionally modify the snapshot (and validation) frequency in the [config file](https://github.com/Noble-Lab/casanovo/blob/main/casanovo/config.yaml) (parameter `val_check_interval`), depending on your dataset size.
-Note that taking very frequent model snapshots will result in slower training time because Casanovo will evaluate its performance on the validation data for every snapshot.

+# Casanovo Nextflow Workflow
+
+To simplify the process of setting up and running Casanovo, a dedicated [Nextflow](https://www.nextflow.io/) workflow is available.
+In addition to simplifying the installation of Casanovo and its dependencies, the Casanovo Nextflow workflow provides an automated mass spectrometry data pipeline that converts input data files to a Casanovo-compatible format using [msconvert](https://proteowizard.sourceforge.io/tools/msconvert.html), infers peptide sequences using Casanovo, and (optionally) uploads the results to [Limelight](https://limelight-ms.org/) - a platform for sharing and visualizing proteomics results.
+The workflow can be used on POSIX-compatible (UNIX) systems, Windows using WSL, or on a cloud platform such as AWS. 
+For more details, refer to the [Casanovo Nextflow Workflow Documentation](https://nf-ms-dda-casanovo.readthedocs.io/en/latest/#).
