[Classic Editor] Ways to create a document

There are 6 ways to create a Document:

Choose from existing templates

Create an editable document

Convert a .docx file

Upload a file

Have our design team convert your file for you

Choose from the template library

Choose from your existing templates

If you already have a few templates created, you can use one to generate a document. This is a huge time saver because you won’t work on your content specifying mainly recipients and/or expiration/reminder settings. 

Click New Document > Document on your Dashboard and choose a template under the "My templates" tab.

Create an editable PandaDoc Document

This option provides the highest level of customization allowing you to create all the content and styling from scratch.

What you can do:

• Add content blocks
• Add fields
• Customize design
• Use CSS to level up your styling

To create an editable document, click New Document > Document on your Dashboard and choose Blank.

Convert a .docx, a .doc, Google Doc or a Word Online file into an editable PandaDoc

This is a great way to quickly import your content and maintain the same level of customization as laid out above. 

To import a file, click New Document/Create > Upload on your Dashboard. Add your .docx file and once it's uploaded, choose "Convert document" (With the "Do not convert" you will proceed to a non-editable PandaDoc document).

Upload your file

This fits really well if you send out something like tax forms that are pretty much set and don’t require styling. You won’t be able to edit document content, however, uploading a file takes a few seconds and you can start sending out documents right away.  

What you can do:

• Overlay fields
  

To upload a file, click New Document/Create > Upload on your Dashboard.
