Template
This special template is the "data container" for your Pro Kit Box. Before creating a template, you may want to check the Pro kit box templates category if the template already exists. Editors can insert your box in an article by typing the box name surrounded by curly brackets {{ }} which will retrieve the data directly from the template you are creating now. Your template will also be used as a source for Pro Kit Box overviews. If you need to change the data of the box later, change this template.
- Use the input box below to create a new template for your Pro Kit Box.
- When you click the Create Pro Kit Box template button, you will be asked to specifiy a template type. Choose "Design".
- On the new template page, change the parameters you want and click the Publish button. You do not have to fill in all box data now; you can do it later. Return to this page when you are done.
- Follow the next step.
