  2. Click the template selector dropdown at the top of the sidebar
  3. Browse available templates by category

Using Templates

Applying a Template

  1. Open the template gallery
  2. Click on a template to preview it
  3. Click Apply to use it for your current book

Applying a template overwrites your current interior design settings. If you have unsaved customizations, consider saving them as a custom template first.

Switching Templates

You can switch templates at any time. Your content isn't affected—only the visual styling changes.

Favorites

Mark templates as favorites for quick access.

Adding a Favorite

  1. Hover over any template in the gallery
  2. Click the star icon
  3. The template appears in your Favorites section

Removing a Favorite

  1. Click the star icon again on a favorited template
  2. Or go to Favorites and click the star to unfavorite

Favorites sync to your device. Each user has their own favorites list.

Custom Templates

Create custom templates when you want to:

  • Maintain consistent branding across a series
  • Save a design you've spent time perfecting
  • Share a design configuration (via export/import)

Creating a Custom Template

  1. Open the Interior Designer
  2. Adjust settings until you're happy with the design
  3. Click Save as Template (or the save icon)
  4. Enter a name for your template
  5. Click Save

Your custom template appears in the Custom category.

Editing a Custom Template

  1. Apply the template to any book
  2. Make your changes in the Interior Designer
  3. Click Update Template to save changes back to the template

Changes to a template don't automatically update books already using that template. Each book stores its own copy of the interior design.

Cloning a Template

Create a new template based on an existing one:

  1. Select the template you want to clone
  2. Click the Duplicate button (or right-click > Duplicate)
  3. Enter a name for the new template
  4. Customize as needed

This is useful when you want variations on a theme—for example, the same design but with different trim sizes for different markets.

Deleting a Custom Template

  1. Find the template in the Custom category
  2. Click the delete button (or right-click > Delete)
  3. Confirm deletion

Built-in presets cannot be deleted. Only custom templates can be removed.

Template Settings

Custom templates save all Interior Designer settings:

Page Layout
- Trim size and region
- Margins
- Body font and size
- Line height
- Text alignment and indent
- Header and page number styles

Typography
- Heading scale and fonts
- Chapter styling (sink, alignment, case, start position)
- Structural heading styling
- Drop cap settings

Decorative Elements
- Chapter image settings
- Scene break style and ornaments
- Spacing above/below breaks

Tips for Managing Templates

  1. Name templates descriptively - Romance 6x9 is more useful than Template 1

  2. Create series templates - Keep all books in a series visually consistent

  3. Start from presets - Clone a built-in preset rather than starting from scratch

  4. Test before committing - Apply a template and check the preview before finalizing

  5. Keep favorites lean - Mark only templates you use regularly as favorites
