Creating and Managing Templates

What is a template​

A template is a piece of text that can be inserted into any website input field (for example, text area and text inputs) with Briskine.

What are templates good for?​

Templates are used to avoid writing the same text over and over again. A template can be any repetitive text that you frequently write, regardless of text length.

Here are a few examples of templates:
