# Templates

# Templates

Templates are reusable design layouts. Build one once and Mavic can use it again and again to produce on-brand image posts in seconds.

## When to use a template

* You want every Instagram post to share a layout (e.g. "quote on top half, brand color block on bottom").
* You publish a recurring series (e.g. "Tip Tuesday", "Founder Friday").
* You need carousel slides with consistent slide-1 / slide-2 / slide-3 design.

## How to create a template

Go to **Brand DNA → Templates**.

1. Click **+ Create**.
2. Give the template a clear name (e.g. *"IG quote post"*, *"LinkedIn carousel — slide 1"*).
3. **Design the layout.** Add text fields, image placeholders, backgrounds, and shapes.
4. **Apply your brand elements.** Pull in your brand colors, your logo, and your headline/body fonts so the template stays on-brand by default.
5. Click **Save**.

The template is now available across the platform.

## Using a template in chat

In the chat composer, type `@` and select **Template**. Pick the template you just made. Then write your prompt — for example:

> Use this template to make three quote posts about resilience.

Mavic will generate three image posts, each filled into the template you selected.

## Using a template in a workflow

When you run an image-generation or social-post workflow, the form will let you select a template from a dropdown.

## Updating an existing template

Open the template, edit it, and click **Save**. Future generations use the new version. Past generations are unaffected — they're locked snapshots, not live links.

## Carousel templates

For carousel posts (Instagram, LinkedIn), you can build a **multi-slide template** where each slide has its own layout — useful when slide 1 is a hook, slide 2–4 are content, and slide 5 is a CTA.
