# Saving, editing or copying a template

> How to edit a drag & drop template, save it and copy it to another account.

You can use templates for the drag & drop editor straight away, or you can customise them first.

## Saving or copying a modified template

You can edit a template while creating a campaign:

#### Start a campaign and edit the template

Start a campaign using the template you want to change. Edit the design in step 4 while filling in the template. The original template will remain saved in its original form.

#### Click ‘Save as template’

Click ‘Save as template’ at the top of the page.

#### Save the template

Choose whether to overwrite the original template, or save your changes under a new name as an additional template.

When you create a campaign, your own template will then appear in step 3 under the ‘Saved templates’ category.

Do you only want to make a copy of a template? Then also start a campaign with the original template and save it under a different name in step 4. The original and the copy will then appear side by side in your overview.

> **Note**

> Was a custom template modified after being delivered by the designer, and do you want to see that change in a campaign you are already working on? In that case, you do not need to save it, but rather update it using ‘Reload template, keep content’ or rebuild the campaign. Read more in [Creating a campaign after modifying a template](/campagne-maken-na-aanpassing-in-sjabloon).

## Managing a saved template

All your own templates can be found under Campaigns → Templates → Drag & drop. Using the links next to a template, you can edit or manage it directly without having to start a campaign first.

| Link             | What it does                                                                                             |
| ---------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Change name      | Give the template a different name.                                                                      |
| Edit template    | Open the template in the drag & drop editor.                                                             |
| Delete           | Delete the template from your account.                                                                   |
| Preview          | See what the template looks like.                                                                        |
| Download html    | Retrieve the HTML of the template. Please note: downloaded HTML cannot be imported back into Laposta.    |
| Start campaign   | Immediately start a new campaign with this template.                                                     |
| To other account | Copy the template to another account (you will only see this link if you have a management environment). |

## Copying a template to another account

If you work with a management environment and log in to your account from there, you will see the link ‘To other account’ next to each template under Campaigns → Templates → Drag & drop. Click this and tick the accounts in which you want to place the template.

This allows you to quickly copy a template that you have prepared in one account to other accounts within your organisation. Each department can then use that template as a basis for a campaign and edit or add to it themselves.

If you do not see the ‘To other account’ link, you either do not have a management environment or no accounts have been linked. If you still want to copy a template to another account, for example because you designed it for a client, use a share link. Anyone who opens that link can import the template into their own account with a single click. To find out how, read [Sharing a template with a share link](/hoe-kan-ik-een-sjabloon-delen).
