Collection Templates

If you deliver galleries with similar layouts — weddings, senior sessions, family portraits — templates let you set up the structure once and reuse it for every client.

Creating a Template

Go to Collections > Templates
Click + New Template
Name the template (e.g., "Wedding Delivery" or "Senior Portrait Gallery")
Configure the layout, cover style, and sorting options
Set default permissions (download, favorites, sharing)
Choose a color theme and branding options
Click Save Template

What's Saved in a Template

Templates store all the design and permission settings — not the images themselves:

Layout — grid, masonry, slideshow, or horizontal scroll
Cover design — image selection, text overlay, font, and color
Download settings — allowed sizes, PIN protection, download limits
Proofing settings — favorites enabled, selection limits, approval workflow
Expiration — default number of days before the collection expires
Branding — watermark, logo placement, color scheme

Using a Template

When creating a new collection, click Start from Template instead of building from scratch. Select your template, add images, and you're ready to share. You can still override any template setting on a per-collection basis.

Managing Templates

Edit a template anytime — changes only apply to new collections, not existing ones
Duplicate a template to create variations (e.g., "Wedding Delivery - Full" vs. "Wedding Delivery - Sneak Peek")
Delete templates you no longer use

Templates are the fastest way to maintain consistent branding and delivery standards across every client experience.
