00:00:05:15 - 00:00:05:22
In this

00:00:05:22 - 00:00:09:00
tutorial, we'll take a look
at how you can save as templates

00:00:09:00 - 00:00:13:16
and then reuse your page content
configured using content templates.

00:00:14:17 - 00:00:17:03
This allows you to create complex
page content

00:00:17:03 - 00:00:21:19
using a content templates editor
and then reuse it time and time again.

00:00:21:19 - 00:00:24:29
Save a lot of time
and to ensure a consistent way out

00:00:24:29 - 00:00:27:29
between pages.

00:00:28:28 - 00:00:31:24
So starting
from an existing configuration page

00:00:31:24 - 00:00:35:14
where content templates
have been used to create the content page.

00:00:35:25 - 00:00:39:01
So I've just gone to my editable
content area, for example.

00:00:39:13 - 00:00:42:25
I'm just going to go to my home
page banner, just as one example of where

00:00:42:25 - 00:00:45:25
these are located.

00:00:48:07 - 00:00:51:26
Now coming down to the sections Builder.

00:00:51:26 - 00:00:55:07
So where we start to actually build
our content template content,

00:00:55:20 - 00:00:59:10
you will notice that each of these areas,
including the subsections,

00:00:59:14 - 00:01:03:01
has a save icon
next to the different building blocks.

00:01:07:23 - 00:01:08:02
You can

00:01:08:02 - 00:01:11:02
save your
set at any of these available levels,

00:01:11:07 - 00:01:14:13
although you will only be able
to add them again to a new content

00:01:14:13 - 00:01:18:04
and templates in areas where they are,
where they are directly applicable.

00:01:18:26 - 00:01:22:19
For example, here
I'm saving a slider which is placed

00:01:22:19 - 00:01:27:05
directly into the sections
area of the builder template,

00:01:27:26 - 00:01:31:09
the build a template,
and it's within the sections area.

00:01:31:27 - 00:01:35:21
You will only be able to add
a duplicate of this slider into areas

00:01:35:21 - 00:01:38:21
where a slider
could also be manually constructed.

00:01:41:05 - 00:01:44:05
So once again, I'm going to hit, save set

00:01:44:21 - 00:01:47:21
and apply that to a name

00:01:50:26 - 00:01:53:26
and hit save.

00:01:54:09 - 00:01:56:24
So the template,
including all of its contents

00:01:56:24 - 00:02:00:12
such as images and text,
are now saved as a set

00:02:01:26 - 00:02:02:27
to test this in action.

00:02:02:27 - 00:02:06:20
Navigate to a different area
where content templates can be utilized.

00:02:06:26 - 00:02:10:04
So in my example,
I'm going to go to a content page

00:02:10:15 - 00:02:14:02
and I'm just going to create
a brand new content page as an example.

00:02:21:25 - 00:02:27:07
I can switch that to use

00:02:27:08 - 00:02:30:08
content templates

00:02:31:20 - 00:02:32:12
and builder.

00:02:32:12 - 00:02:36:26
So now we're in the same position
where we were when we saved

00:02:37:06 - 00:02:39:20
that slide a template.

00:02:39:20 - 00:02:43:01
I've got the ability now
to load existing sets and you'll see that

00:02:43:01 - 00:02:46:02
my slider template is available to import.

00:02:46:28 - 00:02:49:28
It can go on that my slider is added,

00:02:50:00 - 00:02:53:10
including all of the contents
that were within that slider.

00:02:53:10 - 00:02:57:04
One last thing to show you
here is the ability to manage saved sets.

00:02:57:15 - 00:03:01:09
So if I go back to the load sets dropdown,
I've also got the ability to manage

00:03:01:09 - 00:03:05:19
existing sets That would just show me a
list of all of these sets that I've saved

00:03:06:17 - 00:03:09:18
and I've got the ability to delete
the ones that I want to get rid of.

00:03:09:26 - 00:03:12:28
It will also show me information
on the name we've applied

00:03:13:05 - 00:03:15:28
where they can be utilized,
so what they're associated with.

00:03:15:28 - 00:03:16:16
So we'll see here.

00:03:16:16 - 00:03:19:14
This is a slider, for example,
and the date they were created.
