Templates provide a pre-prepared outline for similar types of projects. If you need to use the same structure multiple times when you are creating a journey map, it is better to prepare a template beforehand and use that template all the time.

#### How to create a template?

### Creating a template from a journey map

You can also create a template from your journey maps. To do this, simply go to your journey maps, click the three dots on the right of the journey map, and select "Copy as a template." The template will then appear in the template section of your dashboard.

{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

When you click any of your templates within the "journey maps" section, this will automatically create a journey map from your template. Every time you want to create a journey map from your template, you can click one of your templates, and it will create a map for you.
