Templates let you start a post from a ready-made design — or save your own posts as reusable templates — so you don’t have to configure fonts, colors, and layout from scratch every time.
Access the template gallery from Start Writing → Use Template in the left sidebar.
The template gallery
The gallery has two tabs:
| Tab | What it contains |
|---|
| Pre-designed | Templates created by LetterBucket, ready to use. The first card is always Blank Canvas, which starts an empty post from scratch. |
| My Templates | Templates you’ve saved yourself from the post editor. |
Use the search bar at the top to filter templates by name in either tab.
Previewing and customizing a template
Click any template card to open its preview. The preview modal has two tabs:
- Preview — shows the template rendered as it will look in an actual email.
- Customize — lets you adjust the template’s colors before using it, including the accent color used for buttons, table headers, and icon containers.
If you have a Brand Kit configured, you can apply your brand colors to the template directly from the Customize tab with one click.
When you’re happy with it, click Use Template to open the editor with the template’s design and content pre-applied, ready to write into.
Saving your own templates
You can turn any post into a reusable template from the post editor:
- Open a post in the editor and design it the way you want.
- Use the Save as template action.
- Give your template a name and save.
Your template will appear in the My Templates tab of the gallery, available for any future post in your newsletter.
Managing your templates
Templates in My Templates have three actions:
| Action | Description |
|---|
| Edit | Opens the template in the editor so you can modify its design |
| Rename | Changes the template’s name |
| Delete | Permanently removes the template |
Deleting a template cannot be undone. Posts already created from that template are not affected.
