# Use and manage template sets

> Choose Pinsearch layouts or organize your own reusable templates.

Templates are reusable layouts for Pin Maker and Automations. A template set groups layouts you want to use together, such as designs for one website or brand.

## Start from a Pinsearch template

Open **Create → Templates** and browse **Pinsearch templates**. Add a layout you like to an existing custom set or create **New set**. This creates your editable copy; the original Pinsearch layout stays available.

Open the copied template to adjust its text, photo slots, colors and layout. Use **New template** for a blank design.

## Manage sets and templates

Choose a set from **Your custom templates**. The set's options let you rename or delete it. Template options let you edit, duplicate, move it to another set or delete it.

Deleting a set also removes its templates. Designs you have already made are not changed by renaming or deleting a set, but future Pin Maker batches and Automations need a valid set to use.

> [!WARNING]
>
> Check any automation using a custom set before deleting that set or its templates. Future runs may no longer have suitable designs available.

## Use a custom set

In Pin Maker, open the template selector and choose your set. Enable the layouts you want in the mix. In an automation, choose the set under **Design Pins**.

A layout is used only when the source has enough photos for its slots. One template with many slots will not fit every post; include a few simpler layouts in the same set.

## Free access

Free can save one custom template. More custom templates require paid or Lifetime access. Selecting a template does not use article credits.
