Navigate the Dashboard
Your dashboard is the home base for all your email templates. Here you can create, find, and manage your work.
Sidebar Navigation
The left sidebar gives you quick access to the main sections of Templated:
Create
- Generate with AI — Create a template using AI (coming soon).
- Blank Template — Opens the editor with an empty canvas so you can build from scratch.
- Import Design — Import an existing HTML email template. You can paste HTML code or upload an
.htmlfile.
Navigate
- Templates — View and manage all your templates (the main dashboard view).
- Integrations — Connect third-party tools like Canva to your account.
Click the collapse button at the top of the sidebar to minimize it and give more space to the main content area.
Template Grid
The main area of your dashboard displays all your templates in a grid layout. Each template card shows:
- A thumbnail preview of the template (or a placeholder if no preview is available)
- The template name
- How long ago it was last updated (for example, "2 hours ago")
- A status badge — Draft or Exported
Hover over a template card to reveal the action menu, which gives you options to Edit, Duplicate, or Delete the template.
Search and Sort
Use the search bar at the top of the template grid to find templates by name. Results filter in real time as you type.
To change the order of your templates, use the sort dropdown. You can sort by:
- Last Modified (default) — most recently edited first
- Date Created — newest first
- Name — alphabetical order
Usage Summary
The usage summary panel shows your current plan limits:
- Templates — How many templates you have created out of your plan limit.
- AI Generations — How many AI-generated templates you have used this period.
Each metric includes a progress bar so you can see your usage at a glance. If you are approaching a limit, consider upgrading your plan.
