# Saving Campaigns as Templates
## Description

Using this process, you can save campaigns as templates, which is very convenient if you've taken the time to customize and/or design your template and plan to use it again.

## Why It's Important

Saving your templates is incredibly useful if you want to reuse successful past campaigns or newly developed templates. Whether you start with a blank canvas or a professional template, if you've taken the time to customize your campaign with your colors, logo, and design, you'll definitely want to keep it for future use.

## Step-by-Step Instructions

Just a few clicks:

<Stepper>

1. Open the email you want to save as a template.

1. Click **Edit Email**

1. In the top right of the editor, click the dropdown arrow.

1. Click **Save Design as Template**

1. Give this template a name in the empty field.

1. Click **Save Template**
</Stepper>

## You've Saved It!

Your template will then be available in **My Templates** when you create a new campaign.

## Troubleshooting

**Save as template option is missing or grayed out**

- Make sure the campaign is in draft or sent status, not currently sending
- Verify you're in the email editor, not the campaign preview
- Try refreshing the page if the option doesn't appear

**Template saved but can't find it**

- Check the "My Templates" section when creating a new campaign
- Verify the template name doesn't contain special characters
- Search for it under the right category or filter
- Make sure you're logged into the correct account

**Template changes aren't saving**

- Make sure you clicked "Save Template" after naming it
- Check if there's a character limit for template names
- Verify your internet connection is stable during saving
- Try saving with a different name if the first attempt fails

**Template looks different when reusing**

- Confirm all images are still hosted at their original URLs
- Check if merge tags or dynamic content need to be updated
- Verify custom fonts are still available
- Examine if linked stylesheets are still accessible
