Create Template and opening an existing template both use the same template builder. For the full step-by-step procedure (creating roles, placing fields, merge fields, email, reminders and locking) see Building a workflow; this page covers what’s on screen.

The template builder, with the template's roles and documents.

Sections

The builder is organised into collapsible sections, opened in order as you complete each one: Documents, Template Details, Roles, Merge Fields, Email Customisation, Reminders & Expiration, Template Locking and PowerForm. A summary panel on the side tracks completeness and lets you jump to any section. Setting the Roles section’s signing mode to Workflow adds a canvas there that opens the workflow builder: see Workflow signing.

Fields

From the builder, opening the field editor moves you to a dedicated page for placing fields per role. See Template fields.
