Reusable Templates
A template keeps a layout or a piece of content you like, so you can reuse it in any new page or email.
What are templates?
A template is a saved content block (or collection of blocks) that you can insert into the editor with just a couple of clicks. For example, you might save:
- A testimonial section layout you use on every sales page
- A standard email header and footer
- A FAQ block you reuse across multiple courses
- A pricing table
Each template is offered only in the formats you tick for it: web page, lesson, email (automated emails included) or blog post. That way, when you write an email, the list only shows the templates meant for emails.
Creating a template
There are two ways to create a template.
From scratch
- Go to Templates in your dashboard and click New template.
- Build your content in the editor that opens.
- Click Next at the top right.
- Give your template a Name, tick its Formats, then click Save.
From content you already made
Open the menu (⋮) of a web page, email, lesson or blog post, from your list or from the editor, and click Turn into template. TinyPages copies its content into a new template, named after the page and offered in the same format. Click View template in the confirmation message to open it.
To rename a template or change its formats later, open it and click Set up as at the top right.
A format is grayed out when the template contains a block that format can't hold, like a product block in an email. Hold your mouse over the checkbox to see which block is in the way.
Using a template
On a new, empty page, click Start from template. In content you have already started, type /template where you want the template to go, or search for Template in the block menu. In both cases, a picker lists the templates whose formats match what you are editing. Click one to insert it.
Once inserted, the content can be edited freely, like the rest of your page.
Tips
- Name your templates clearly: "Sales page: testimonials", "Email: weekly newsletter header", "Lesson: key takeaways"
- Create templates for the sections you rebuild most often
- You can edit a template whenever you like: content you already inserted from it stays as it is
