Start with templates

Templates are published YADL documents that give you a useful structure before you add your own message, visual style, and data.

Browse and preview

Open Templates to search and filter published work. A template detail page describes its intended use, category, tags, access level, and available preview.

Free templates can show an interactive preview to everyone. A paid template can show its public preview while reserving its live editable preview and source for users whose active plan includes that level.

Use a template

1. Open the template detail page.
2. Select Use Template.
3. YADL opens the template in the editor with a shareable ?template= URL.
4. Replace the copy, visual structure, or timing for your own audience.
5. Save the result to your account when you are ready to keep a cloud-backed version.

Using a template does not edit the published original. If the template requires a plan you do not have, YADL leaves your current editor workspace unchanged and shows an access message.

Choose the right template

• Use a process or architecture template when relationships and order matter.
• Use a presentation or infographic template when you need a narrative sequence.
• Prefer a template with a public preview and a clear description of what it helps explain.

You can also begin with a reusable component when you need one repeatable visual building block rather than a full document.
