Manage map templates

You can use the Template Organizer to manage your map templates.

Show the Template Organizer

• On the Tools tab, in the Templates group, click Map Templates.  

Collections and folders

The template list shows all the available collections and the templates they contain. To further organize your templates, you may create folders within the collections.

Create a new folder

1. On the Template Organizer Map Templates tab, click the collection where you want to add the folder.

2. Under Folder commands click New.

3. Enter the name for the new folder.

4. Under Folder commands, the  Delete and Rename commands in this group apply to entire folders. If you delete a folder, all the templates it contains will also be deleted.

Reorganize templates

• Move templates by dragging to a new folder or collection.

• To modify, duplicate, delete or rename a template, click its name and then use the commands under Template commands.

Favorite templates

Favorite map templates show automatically when you start a new map using the  From Styles and Templates command, so if you have templates that you use frequently, add them to the displayed Favorites for instant access.

Enable or disable wizards in templates

Some templates have wizards attached that automate map creation. If you select a template with a wizard, you can enable or disable it for new maps.

1. On the Template Organizer Map Templates tab, click the template file name.

2. Select the Show wizard when creating new maps checkbox.
