 We offer vast galleries of Templates and Backgrounds to choose from. You can bookmark templates and backgrounds or save a designed page as a template. Follow these steps to insert a template.

Insert A Template

 

  1. Inside the page designer on the left, click on the "Insert Template" button. (Note: You must have a page selected ready to design.)
  2. Browse the categories on the left, select a category to view the corresponding templates as shown below.
  3. Select the template that you would like to use, then click either â€œInsert On Right Page or Insert On Left Page." (Note: If you are on a single page click "Insert On Page.")
  4. Your template will place onto the page that you had requested and you can continue to customise it.
Note: If there is content already on your page and you wish to drop your new template onto it, the designer will ask if you wish to replace the existing content or drop the template directly on top.

Now you can search for templates using key words. Just type in a keyword, such as, 'class of' and you will be shown multiple templates according to that keyword!
 
Note: This keyword search option works for backgrounds and clipart as well!
 
You can still select any of our individual categories for a template.  But, for faster results use the keyword search!

Bookmarking A Template - EDOnline 6.5

There's now a new way you can bookmark a template without having to leave the page designer. While working on your yearbook project if you come across a template you like and you wish to see how others have used the template; then follow these steps:
  • From the EDOnline Page Designer click on the "Insert Template" menu option.
  • Click on a template category to view the templates within the category.
  • Hover your mouse over a template and you will see a magnifying glass icon appear. Click on the icon to view the template details.

  • A popup will appear with the details of the template selected: (Name of the template, Labels - Category list where the template can be found.)
  • Below the template you will see, at least, five previews of how others have used the template. If you like the template you can choose to bookmark it by clicking on the check box; "Bookmark Template".

Note: If there aren't any previews available for the template it is due to the fact the template hasn't been used yet. Inspire others by being the first to use the template. Your template preview can display, if chosen, once you approve your book for production.
