Templates are a convenient way to store boilerplate versions of titles that can be used as a starting point for future titles that are created. For example, if your organization has a standard "look and feel" for a title that should be applied to all titles, you can create a template that contains the layout and all associated text and graphics for that title. You would then use this template when creating additional titles.
You can create and import templates, use one of the many pre-installed templates, or access online templates. Hundreds of pre-installed templates are available, including a gallery for the iPhone® and iPod® Touch. Online templates are organized by category.
Descriptions and previews are available when you select a template.
You can start a template using a custom template that you have created or using an online template.
To start a title using a custom template:
If the Getting Started window is displayed, select My Templates. Otherwise, select Create New Title from the File ribbon and click My Templates. The templates that you have created are displayed on the right.
Double-click the desired template or select the desired template from the list and click Create from Template.
Your newly created title is displayed in Edit mode and you can begin adding objects to complete its functionality.
