Templates workspace

Templates define the properties, relationships, content sections, and creation-form fields available in visual cards.

Four tabs

  • Entity Templates: characters, locations, organizations, and other entities.
  • Event Templates: events and fields such as dates, participants, and locations.
  • Relation Templates: explicit relationship types and directions.
  • Writing Templates: text files with a prepared structure.

Built-in templates and cards are included with Free. Free and Plus can use an existing custom template to create a file, and can read and preserve advanced content already present in a Project. Creating or editing Global or Project template, property, relationship, and visual-structure definitions requires Pro.

Editor

With Pro, the template editor can define stable property names, display names, data types, choices, relationships, content sections, and creation-form order. Changing only a display name does not migrate an existing field.

See Customize a Project model for modeling, dependency checks, and migration steps.
