# Custom Templates
Save your own boards as templates for your organization.
You can save any board you create as a custom template to your organization. This becomes a quick way to organise the templates your team uses often or those that you've made specifically for the way your team works.
To add a template here, create a board and then go to Templates > 'Your Org Templates' and use the 'Add Template' button, this will bring up a list of all of your boards:
Select the board you want to set as a template and then give it a name, description and set a category.
As you start to add different templates, you will see the category filters populate, this lets you quickly navigate your team templates.
### Create Custom Template From Inside A Board
From the board details menu, publish the current board to your Organization's Template Library:
### Update a Custom Template
You can update a custom template in place from the board it was published from:
1. Open the board you originally published as the template
2. Make your changes
3. Open the board details menu and choose 'Publish As Template'. Because the board is linked to an existing template, you will see 'Update Template'
4. Choose 'Apply Changes'
If you no longer have the original board, create a board from the template, edit it, publish it as a new custom template, then delete the old one.
### Building a custom board
Follow our detailed guide on how to customize your board for your own templates.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:
```
GET https://docs.spreo.io/templates/custom-templates.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
