### Saving a Project as a Template

You can turn any project into a template directly from the project menu.

1. Open your project in Maker AI
2. Click the project name dropdown at the top left
3. Select **Make public template**

Once saved, the template will be available in your Templates library and can be used as a starting point for future projects.

***

### Accessing Your Templates

Templates live inside the **Collections** section of the project dropdown menu. From there, you will find two tabs:

* **My Templates** -- your own saved templates, private to your workspace
* **Maker Templates** -- Maker's curated public templates, available to all users

***

### Searching for Templates

You can search for templates using keywords. The search is AI-powered, so it understands context -- not just exact titles. You can search by things like:

* Component type (e.g., hero section, product grid)
* Layout style
* Industry or use case
* Colors or visual characteristics

Search suggestions appear automatically and rotate each time you refresh, so it is easy to explore what is available.

Results are ranked by exact title match first, then by keyword relevance.

### Using Templates in AI+ Content Projects

When starting an AI+ content project, you have two ways to use a template:

**Manually select a template** Use the "Use this template" option to browse and pick a template yourself. This prefills the home page with that design before generation begins.

**Let Maker choose for you** If you do not select a template, Maker will automatically pick one based on the keywords in your request. Maker prioritizes your private templates first, then falls back to Maker's public templates if no private ones match.

You can also mark any project as "AI+" so it appears as a template option specifically during AI+ content creation (as shown in the Remix menu under AI+ content).

### Where You Can Access Templates

Templates are accessible from multiple places in the product:

* The **Templates section** inside Collections (project dropdown)
* The **home screen** when starting an AI+ content project
* **Template detail views** when browsing individual templates

***

### Tips

* Save your best-performing layouts as templates to speed up future projects
* Use descriptive names so AI-assisted search and auto-selection can match them accurately

### FAQs

<details>

<summary><strong>What is the difference between My Templates and Maker Templates?</strong></summary>

My Templates are ones you have saved yourself. Maker Templates are curated layouts provided by Maker, available to all users as a starting point.

</details>

<details>

<summary><strong>Can I search for a template without knowing the exact name?</strong></summary>

Yes. The search is AI-powered, so you can use descriptive keywords like "product grid," "minimal layout," or "fashion brand" and it will surface relevant results. Suggestions also rotate on refresh if you want some inspiration.

<details>

<summary><strong>Does Maker automatically pick a template for me?</strong></summary>

It can. When creating AI+ content, if you do not manually select a template, Maker will automatically choose one based on the keywords in your prompt. It checks your private templates first, then Maker's public library.

<details>

<summary><strong>How do I make sure my template gets used during AI+ content creation?</strong></summary>

When saving your project, mark it as "Templates " and "AI+" in collections. This is so it shows up as a template option during AI+ content generation.&#x20;

</details>

<details>

<summary><strong>Where can I access my templates?</strong></summary>

From the Collections section in the project view, the home screen when starting an AI+ project, or directly from a template detail view.

<summary><strong>Any tips for getting better results from templates?</strong></summary>

Give your templates descriptive names. Since search and auto-selection are AI-powered, the more context your template name provides, the better Maker can match it to the right project.
