Share, hand over, fix or remove the sections editors saved as templates Learn DXPR BuilderManage the siteConfigure the builder ## In this guide Related guides - [Page templates admin](/hc/documentation/learn-dxpr-builder/admin/page-templates-admin) - [User profiles](/hc/documentation/learn-dxpr-builder/admin/user-profiles-admin) - [Saved templates tab](/hc/documentation/learn-dxpr-builder/reusable-templates/saved-templates-tab) Editors save sections as user templates and insert them again from the **Saved templates** tab. On the **User Templates** tab you see every saved template on the site, whoever made it. Here you share a private template with all editors and hand templates over when someone leaves. You can also hide templates without deleting them, or remove the ones nobody needs. ## Before you start - Your role needs **Administer site configuration**. - Editors save templates with **Save as template** in an element's **More** menu; see [Save a section and reuse it](/hc/documentation/learn-dxpr-builder/reusable-templates/user-templates). ## Set up To share a private template with every editor: 1. Go to **DXPR Studio** > **DXPR Builder** > **User Templates**(`/admin/dxpr_studio/dxpr_builder/user_templates`). 2. Click **Edit** next to the template. 3. Tick **Global**. 4. Click **Save**. ## Hand templates to another editor A template belongs to the account in its **UID** field. When that account is deleted, the template disappears from the editor for everyone. Before you delete an account, move its templates: 1. Click **Edit** next to the template. 2. Enter the new owner's user ID in **UID**. 3. Click **Save**. You find a user ID in the address of the account's page, for example `/user/12`. ## Hide a template without deleting it To keep a template out of the **Saved templates** tab, for example a default template that does not fit your site's design: 1. Click **Edit** next to the template. 2. Untick **Enabled**. 3. Click **Save**. Its **Status** column now reads **Disabled**, and no editor sees it, including its owner. Tick **Enabled** again to bring it back. Pages that already use the template keep their content. ## Remove a template Open the arrow next to **Edit**, click **Delete**, then confirm with **Delete**. Pages that already use the template keep their content, because inserting a template copies it into the page. ## What you see The message "Updated dxpr builder user template" names your template, and its **Global** column now reads **True**. The list also shows **Label**, **Machine name**, **Thumbnail**, **Type**, **User ID**, **Status**, **Migration** and **Operations**. In the editor, open the **Saved templates** tab. Every editor now finds the template under **Global Templates**. A private one sits under **Private Templates**, and only its owner sees it. ## Settings | Setting | What it does | Default | |---|---|---| | **Label** | The template name editors see and search for. | The name the editor typed | | **Machine name** | The template's ID, made from the label. Locked after the first save. | From the label | | **UID** | The user ID of the owner. | The editor who saved it | | **Image** | The thumbnail in the list and in the **Saved templates** tab. | The image the editor added, if any | | **Template** | The DXPR Builder markup that is inserted. | The saved section | | **Type** | What was saved, used by the type filter in the editor: for example `section`, `row`, `az_block`, `az_view` or `custom`. | `custom` | | **Global** | Offers the template to every editor. | The **Global template** choice the editor made | | **Enabled** | Untick to hide the template from the **Saved templates** tab without deleting it. | Ticked | **Add user template** at the top of the list creates a template from markup you paste, with the same fields. ## If you don't see a template in the editor - **A template is gone for everyone, but its owner still exists.** It is disabled: its **Status** reads **Disabled**. Edit it and tick **Enabled**. - **A template is gone for everyone.** The account in its **UID** no longer exists, so the editor skips the template. Edit it and enter the user ID of an existing editor. - **A global template is missing for some editors.** Their user profile leaves it out, and new global templates are not added to existing profiles. Tick it under **Global user templates** at **User Profiles** (`/admin/dxpr_studio/dxpr_builder/profile`). - **An editor sees "A template with the name ... already exists".**Another template already has the machine name made from that name. Ask the editor to choose another name. ## What's next? - [Page templates](/hc/documentation/learn-dxpr-builder/admin/page-templates-admin): turn a saved section into a full-page layout. - [User profiles](/hc/documentation/learn-dxpr-builder/admin/user-profiles-admin): choose which global templates each role gets. - [Find and insert a saved template](/hc/documentation/learn-dxpr-builder/reusable-templates/saved-templates-tab): what editors see in the tab.
