# Templates The Templates page is your library of saved studio setups. A template captures the lighting, backdrop, camera settings, and saved camera positions from a project, and lets you apply that exact look to any model in your workspace. Reach it at **Asset Library → Templates**, or directly at [`/library/templates`](https://www.app.glossi.io/library/templates). For the deeper concept of what a template is and how it captures studio settings, see Creating and Using Templates. This page focuses on the library-page experience. ### What's on the page * **Toolbar** — Count of templates, search, sort, and a **Create Template** button on the right. * **Tabs / source filter** — Toggle between **Glossi** (curated public templates by the Glossi team) and **Your Templates** (templates you've created from your own projects). * **Template grid** — Each card shows a hero render produced with the template, the template's name, and an avatar/badge indicating whether it's a Glossi template or one of yours. Hover any card to flip through a filmstrip of additional example renders. * **Featured chip** — Glossi-curated templates may carry a featured badge that surfaces them at the top of the library. ### Filtering and finding * **Glossi vs Your Templates** — The source tab determines which templates are shown. * **Search** — Filter by template name. * **Sort** — Order by recency, name, or other template fields. * **Favorite** — Star templates to keep them surfaced in your favorites and on the homepage. ### Opening a template Click any template card to open the **Template Details** modal. Inside you can: * **Preview** the template's example renders in a full-bleed canvas. * **Apply** — Create a new project (or batch project) using this template's settings. From the modal: * **Create Project** — Pick a single model to apply the template to. * **Create Batch Project** — Pick multiple models; Glossi creates a separate project per model, all sharing the same template. * **Sync** — If you own the template and you've changed the settings in its source project since the template was created, the modal will show a one-line nudge offering to sync the latest project settings into the template. * **Share** — Copy a share link from the modal header to send the template's preview to teammates or clients. * **Manage** — Rename, edit metadata, or delete (your own templates only). ### Creating a template Templates are always created from an existing project — you can't build one from scratch. Click **Create Template**, give it a name, pick the source project whose settings you want to capture, and Glossi snapshots the project's current studio configuration into a reusable template. For a step-by-step guide and best practices, see Creating and Using Templates. ### Tips * **Browse the Glossi tab first** — The curated templates cover common product photography setups; you can copy one as a starting point rather than building from scratch. * **Build category-specific templates** — Different product categories benefit from different lighting and angles. A "Dining furniture" template won't make jewelry look right. * **Sync regularly** — When you make studio improvements in a source project, syncing the template forward keeps every downstream project consistent the next time the template is applied. ### Related * Asset Library Overview * Creating and Using Templates — Concept guide. * Quick Render — The fastest way to apply a template to a model. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
