# Using gallery presets/templates

**Templates allow you to configure more than 80% of a gallery's settings at once, so you can reuse them later when creating new galleries, applying the previously defined settings.**

###### 1. Template Creation Form

The first step is to add a new template using the **“Add”** button located in the top-right corner.  
In this form, you will find several settings:
* **Template name**: to identify templates more easily  
* **Access type**: to create a public gallery or one protected by an access code  
* **Gallery language**  
* **Email collection**: do visitors need to provide their email address to access the gallery?  
* **Working mode**: ready for sale or retouch  
* **Catalog** used for the shop and digital file downloads  
* **Terms & Conditions and Privacy Policy**: documents that must be accepted when placing an order

###### 2. The Core of Templates

Next comes the configuration of the different elements that make up a gallery.  
Here, you can configure:
* the theme applied to your galleries  
* the cover style (excluding the photo)  
* the appearance of the photos  
* the watermark to use  
* the welcome message  
* the included products  
* extras: Spotify music and/or video  

###### 3. Create a template from an existing gallery

You can also save time by creating a template directly from an already configured gallery.  
From an existing gallery, simply choose the option to save its settings as a template: click on the three dots in the top-right corner > **Create a reusable template**.  
This allows you to instantly reuse the entire configuration (appearance, watermark, message, products, options, etc.) for your future galleries, without having to recreate everything manually.
