# Templates

> Reusable note blueprints—fast, consistent, and flexible.

## Overview

Templates make it easy to create reusable notes or snippets you use often—like meeting notes, checklists, or project outlines.

## Create and manage templates

* Click your profile photo → **Templates**
* Create new templates and edit existing ones in the Templates editor (it looks like the Note editor)

## Template variables

Insert variables that auto‑fill when you use the template—for example:

* Date variable → fills with today’s date
* Name variable → fills with a name you provide when inserting

## Organize templates

* Associate templates with collections so they’re easy to find and apply in context

## Use templates inside a note

* Web/Desktop: click **Start with template** at the bottom of a note
* Web/Desktop: type `/` and the template name, then choose it from the list
* iOS: tap the + button above the keyboard (or toolbar +), open the insertion menu, type the template name, then tap it from the list

## Sharing

Templates are shareable. Share with teammates, friends, or family so everyone can use the same structure.
