Saving a Custom Template

If you've created a comic with page layouts and styles that you'd like to use again in the future, you can save the comic as a template by choosing File->Save As Template.... But before doing this, run through the following checklist (it will save you trouble when you come to use the template in the future)

    Creating and saving a custom template:
  1. Save a copy of your comic to use as the master of your template design.
  2. Make sure you're using the copy and not the original!
  3. Remove any pages that have duplicate layouts—there should only be pages with unique layouts remaining.
  4. Remove any photos from the remaining panels (unless you want these images to always be part of new comics).
  5. Eliminate any unused styles or styles you don't like from the Style Browser.
  6. Now save the comic (File->Save).
  7. And save the comic as a template (File->Save as Template...).
  8. The template should appear in the My Templates area of the Template Browser.
  9. Create a comic from your template. It should be ready to fill with your content.
  10. If you're not happy with the template, go back to step 2.
