How to use the template library
The Template library holds ready-made filter and post item layouts, so you can start from a working design rather than an empty canvas.
In short
Open the import/export icon in the top bar and click Import From Library. Pick a category on the left - Full Filter Layout, Filter, Single Post Item or Layout Settings - then choose a template from the thumbnails. You can also import from a file instead of the library. Once it's in, everything is yours to edit exactly like something you built yourself.
Opening the library
The Template library is opened from the import/export icon in the top bar, so it's available while you're building rather than only when you start. The dialog has Import and Export tabs; under Import, click Import From Library to browse templates, or Choose File to bring in a design you've saved or been sent. See Import & export layouts.
Templates are browsed as thumbnails, grouped by what they bring in.
Choosing what to bring in
The library isn't all-or-nothing. The categories down the left side of the dialog let you bring in a whole design or just one part of it, matching the step it belongs to.
| Category | What it brings in |
|---|---|
| Full Filter Layout | The complete design - filter, post item and layout settings together. |
| Filter | Just the filter, as built in Query & Filters Builder. |
| Single Post Item | Just the post item design, as built in Post Item Template. |
| Layout Settings | Just the layout settings from step 3. |
[Confirm before publishing: what happens to existing content when you apply a template - whether it replaces what's already there or is added alongside it.]
Tip
Pick the narrowest category that gets you what you want. If your filter is already built and you only want a results design, use Single Post Item rather than Full Filter Layout.
