| C) A new window with folder structure will appear where your **new template should be copied** to. 1.

| D) A **new Copy item window appears**. 1. *Name* your template copy. 2. Click the *Save* button. **Note***:* The resolution and orientation must match the resolution of the display for which the template is copied. When you copy a template, its resolution and orientation are displayed and are available for modification, but you should not change them unless it is necessary, as this would require a complete redesign of the copied template in the template Designer. | ![](https://cdn.document360.io/a3e67867-6316-451b-94ad-ec727ac9102a/Images/Documentation/Slide4(142).JPG) |
| E) Click the copied content template to open the *Designer* and view its layout. **Note**: The template is created but not yet ready for your display; it is not yet published. Separating the Save function and Publish function enables you to prepare template changes but publish them to the assigned displays at a later point. | ![](https://cdn.document360.io/a3e67867-6316-451b-94ad-ec727ac9102a/Images/Documentation/Slide5(117).JPG) |
| F) **Finishing up**. 1. Check the layout and click on the *Save & Publish* button to save your first template. 2. Click on the *Exit Designer* button to exit. **Note***:* Before any changes become visible on your displays, they need to be *published* using the **Save & Publish** button. | ![](https://cdn.document360.io/a3e67867-6316-451b-94ad-ec727ac9102a/Images/Documentation/Slide6(93).JPG) |
| G) **Assigning Content.** Open the *Displays* tab and click on one of your **connected displays** to assign your new content template: 1. Under *Content assignment*, click the upload icon in the grey box of the *Normal* mode to assign content when scrolling over the box. 2. Select *Templates* in a new *Assign content* sub-window. 3. Select your content in a new *Contents sub-*window. Resolution match is suggested for correct content rendering 4. Click the *Save* button. **Note**: You can not just assign Templates to your displays but also directly *schedules*, *playlists* or *videos* and *images*. | ![](https://cdn.document360.io/a3e67867-6316-451b-94ad-ec727ac9102a/Images/Documentation/Slide7(83).JPG) |
