Before diving in, check out this walk-through video on using the Template Center:
How to Preview a Template in the Template Center
This option allows you to get a feel for the template and see if it meets your needs before downloading it to your account. Keep in mind that this feature only allows you to view the template, but don't worry - if you decide it's the perfect fit, you can easily download it to your account. Happy exploring!
🔴 The templates can only be read during the preview process and are not able to be modified. If a template is being previewed, there is a banner at the top indicating this: "This is a read-only review and cannot be edited"
From your dashboard, click "Templates."
Click "Template Center."
Click on the template you would like to preview.
Click "Preview."
How to Download a Template from the Template Center
In this section, we'll guide you through the process of adding a template from our Template Center to your Template Library. Once you have downloaded the template, you will find it located in the "My Templates" drop-down menu. From there, feel free to make any modifications, edits, or changes to the template to suit your specific needs.
From your dashboard, click "Templates."
Click "Template Center."
Click on the template you would like to add to your library.
Click "Add Template."
Filtering Templates
With the new Template Center look, you have more options on filtering your search for the right template.
You can now search by keyword, and show additional filters for Service, Location and Affiliation. You can also use the drop-down in the top right to sort by Popular, Recently Updated, and Alphabetical.
