Templates

6.4. Organising Templates

In order to keep an overview, you can organise your own templates in template folders. When creating a new document, all templates matching the document type will be displayed from all template folders. The following options are available:

  • create a new template folder by defining a folder as template folder

  • delete a template folder

  • open the folder containing the template.

How to create a new template folder:

  1. In the Drive app, create the new personal folder that you want to use for the templates.

    If you have already created templates, you can move those templates to the new folder now.

  2. Click the System menu icon on the right side of the menu bar. Click the Settings menu item.

  3. Select Documents from the side bar.

  4. In the display area, click on Add new template folder. Select the new folder. Click on OK. The new template folder will be saved below Template folders.

Tip: In order to open the template folder in the Drive app, click on the path below its name.

Note: In order to delete, move or rename your own templates, use the Drive app functions.

How to remove a template folder:

  1. Click the System menu icon on the right side of the menu bar. Click the Settings menu item.

  2. Select Documents from the side bar.

  3. Click the Delete icon next to a template folder.

Note: Neither the template folder nor the templates within will be deleted during this process. As a result of this process, the templates will no longer be displayed when creating new documents.

How to open a template folder:

  • Open a template's context menu under New from Template in the Text, Spreadsheet or the Presentation app. Select Show in Drive.

    The folder containing the template is displayed in the Drive app.
