# Templates and brand items

Templates preserve an editable layout. Brand items keep workspace colors and fonts available while you edit.

## Make a template

Open a workspace design and save it as a new template. You can also replace an existing template when you intend to update that shared starting point.

Starting from a template creates a separate design. Later changes to the template do not rewrite designs already created from it. Exported images are flattened files, so use the source design or template when you need to edit the layout again.

Use templates for work that repeats, such as a release announcement, quote card, or carousel series. Leave content that changes as ordinary layers with clear names.

## Use the workspace brand kit

Manage the brand kit in **Settings → Workspace → Brand**. It can hold:

- named colors;
- default page backgrounds;
- whole-layer text styles;
- custom WOFF2, TTF, or OTF fonts.

The Image Editor exposes saved brand colors in color controls and saved fonts in text controls. Saved page backgrounds and whole-layer text styles remain in the brand kit but do not yet have direct apply actions in the editor.

You must confirm that you have the right to use a custom font before uploading it. OpenPost previews the font in the browser and checks its type and size on the server. A font cannot be removed while a design or template still uses it.

## Update shared work deliberately

A template or brand-kit change affects future use, not existing design content. Open the existing design and apply the new value yourself when an older design also needs the update. This keeps scheduled or previously exported work stable.

Use [Version history](https://docs.openpo.st/image-editor/saving-and-recovery#version-history) before replacing a template or making a large layout change.
