[Classic Editor] Create an Editable template
Note:
PandaDoc's Classic editor is being retired and will be unavailable starting December 1st, 2021. If you are currently using this as your main editor, our team is working to migrate you over to our enhanced Editor 2.0. Please visit our FAQ or contact upgrade@pandadoc.com to get upgraded.Why use templates?
We’ve designed PandaDoc to streamline your sales process, and templates are an important part of making that possible. When you use templates, you will create the content of your documents only once. Then, when you create your document, all you have to do is choose your recipients, and make final adjustments!
This article will guide you on how to create a template and set up content and design with the PandaDoc editor. If you already have a PDF or a Word document which you just want to upload into PandaDoc, please see this article.
Create a new Editable template
Log into PandaDoc, and click on the Templates button in your toolbar. At the top of your screen, click on the New Template button. Then, choose Create a New Template.
Add Roles to your template
On the right side of your screen, click on Roles. Then, add one role for each person that should sign or receive the document. (i.e. Client, Sales Rep, etc.) They will help you assign recipients when you create a document.
Role names are internal and visible to you and your team members.
