Template Library

What is the Template Library?

The Template Library is a repository for pre-built Templates. It contains both user-created and stock Templates that are provided by default.

Create your own templates for the following items:

  • Proposals
  • Documents
  • Marketing Campaigns
  • Drip Sequences
  • Email Cannons
  • Form Templates
  • Form Themes
  • Portal Pages
  • Dashboards

Additional types of Templates will be added in the future.

Templates can be contributed and shared with the community OR you can share your Templates with other accounts privately! 

Private Sharing can be done on a per-Template basis, or share multiple templates via the Global Share option.

TIP: The Super Admin and Admin(s) can access the Template Library. However, only the Super Admin can configure the related settings in Platform Branding.


How do I enable the Template Library?

In order to use this feature, you'll first need to enable it in your Platform Branding settings.

Navigate to Flyout Menu > Platform Branding.
