# Create and manage templates

If you create a document that you want to use again as a model for other documents, you can save it as a template. Creating your own template can be as simple as adding a logo to an existing template, or you can design a completely new template.

You can add your custom templates to the template chooser or save them as a file to share with others. Custom templates that you create on your Mac are grouped in the My Templates category of the template chooser.

1. With the document open, choose File > Save as Template (from the File menu at the top of your screen).
2. Click an option:
   - Add to Template Chooser: The template is added to the My Templates category of the chooser.
   - Save: Type a name for the template, then choose where you want to save it.

     If you want to email the template to others or to yourself, save it to your computer. You can attach the template file to an email message.

1. Choose File > New from the File menu at the top of your screen, then double-click the template you want to use as the basis for a new template.

   Custom templates appear in the My Templates category in the template chooser.

2. Make your changes, choose File > Save Template, then choose an option to save the document as a new template.

The edited template is saved as a new version. You can rename the new version and delete the first version if you don't want to keep it.

1. Choose File > New (from the File menu at the top of your screen), Control-click the template name, then choose Rename or Delete.
2. If you're renaming, type a new name, then press Return.

Custom templates always appear in My Templates in the template chooser. You can't rearrange templates, and you can't delete templates that came with Comic Life.
