# Templates

The Templates page lists the custom campaign templates you've created and the ones others have shared with you. Use it to find a template, start a campaign from it, or manage existing templates.

> [!NOTE]
>
> The page doesn't list predefined templates. To use one of those, see [Journey templates](<https://help.apteco.com/en/orbit/campaigns/creating-a-campaign/journey-templates/index.md>).

## Access templates

To open templates:

1. Select the **Account and settings** icon in the top-right corner.
2. Select **Resources**.
3. Select **Templates**.

Campaign templates appear under **Campaigns**, with the number of templates next to the heading. Each campaign template tile shows the table its campaign targets, such as People or Households.

## Find a template

Narrow the list in any of these ways:

- **Search**: Enter text in the search box.
- **Sort**: Select the sort icon and choose an order. Options include **Last Edited**, **Date Created**, and **Last Used**.
- **Filter**: Select the filter icon, then choose **All**, **Shared By Me**, **Shared With Me**, or **Not Shared** under **By Status**. Orbit applies the filter straight away. Select **Save** to keep it for the rest of your session, or **Reset** to go back to your last saved filter.

## Use or preview a template

Each template has the same options as in the New Campaign dialog:

- Select **Use Template** to create a campaign from it.
- Select **Preview** to see its description, useful links, and journey.

See [Creating a campaign from a template](<https://help.apteco.com/en/orbit/campaigns/creating-a-campaign/journey-templates/#creating-a-campaign-from-a-template>).

## Manage a template

To manage a template, open the options menu on its tile, then select one of the following:

- **Rename**: Change the template's name
- **Template Description**: Edit the description shown on the tile and in the preview
- **Share**: Share the template with other users. See [Share a template](<#share-a-template>)
- **Delete**: Delete the template

## Share a template

To share a template:

1. Open the options menu on the template's tile, then select **Share**.
2. Enter the name or email address of a user, or a group name, then select **Add**.
3. Choose an access level for each user or group: **View Only** or **Edit**. To share with everyone, set an access level next to **All users**.
4. Optionally, select **Send email notification**.
5. Select **Save &amp; Share**.

To send someone a direct link to the template, select **Copy Share Link**.

> [!NOTE]
>
> Custom templates created before Orbit 2.5.2 don't have an owner. Everyone can see and use them, but only administrators can rename, edit the description of, share, or delete them. An administrator who renames, edits the description of, or shares one becomes its owner.
