Get started as a template builder

This page is for template builders: the people who build the templates that teams create adaptations from. That work covers deciding which parts of a design are fixed and which are editable, setting up the fields others fill in, and making sure the finished output renders well.

It brings together the guides a template builder needs. Template builders usually have the Template Builder role preset, which gives them the Builder role for Templates.

Understand the basics

These pages explain how templates work and what decides the quality of the content made from them. Start with the first page if you’re new to the difference between building templates and producing adaptations.

Build templates that render well

These guides help you prepare the parts of a template that most often cause problems, and fix output that doesn’t come out as expected.

Transform images

While you build a template, you can resize, crop, convert, and AI-edit images with Dynamic Asset Transformations, without storing a separate copy for each use.

Your work connects with these roles.

  • Marketer: creates adaptations from the templates you build.

  • Administrator: adds keywords to your templates so users can filter them.

Not quite your role? Every role is listed in Get started by role.
