Before you start
- You need the Admin or Editor role. Viewers can see templates but can’t create them. See Roles and permissions.
- Templates belong to the workspace, so every member sees and can use the templates you save.

Use cases
- Brand kit. Save one design with your logo and brand colors, then use it for every new code.
- Campaigns. Keep a separate template per campaign or season so all its codes match.
- Team consistency. Editors use the shared templates instead of designing codes themselves.
