Creating a custom Template

A Template is a type of Project that can be re-used to create new Projects with pre-built structures, configuration, and settings. Building your own Templates is a convenient way to standardize your organization’s elearning formats and help your team build their courses quicker. 

You can create a Template entirely from scratch or use an existing Project as a base for a new one.

When you create a Template, it becomes available to other users in the Project library who can then use it to build their own Projects. To find out more about how to create a Project from one of your Templates, see Creating a Project from a custom built Template.

You can also use the Learning Accelerator to build Projects from pre-built Templates created by our Learning Consultancy team. See Using Learning Accelerator templates to create a course.
