# Templates

> Upload proposal templates and save reusable proposal structures so Emma drafts responses in the shape your team prefers.

Emma follows a template's sections when she drafts. Open **Library** and click the **Templates** tab.

| Kind | What it is | How you create it |
| - | - | - |
| Uploaded template | A file, such as a Word proposal template, response form or model submission. | Upload it on the **Templates** tab. |
| **Saved template** | A reusable proposal structure (kind **Structure**): a name, a description and section headings. | **Save as template** in the document editor. |

Saved templates are structures, not downloadable files.

## Upload a template

**1. On the **Templates** tab, click **Add New**, then **Upload template****

**2. Choose the files**

They are saved as proposal templates.

**3. Add a title and description**

Say when to use the template, for example "Technical proposal, public sector IT services".

**4. Click **Upload****

## Save and use a structure

When a working document in a Bid Room has a structure worth reusing, click **Save as template** in the editor. It appears on the **Templates** tab as a **Saved template**.

To use a template in a draft, click **Select from templates** in the editor and pick one from the current tender, the library or your saved templates. See [Documents and editor](https://reyda.mintlify.site/bid-room/documents-and-editor.md).

## Edit a saved template

**1. On the **Templates** tab, click a saved template**

**Edit template** opens.

**2. Change the **Name** and the **Description****

The description tells Emma when the template should be used.

**3. Edit the **Structure****

Use headings to define the proposal sections. Reyda shows how many sections it detected.

**4. Click **Save changes****

> [!TIP]
>
> Buyer-provided forms come first. If a tender includes its own response form or template, Emma aims
> to complete that form in its required format rather than replace it with yours. Use your templates
> for the parts the buyer leaves open, such as a technical proposal or a method statement.

## Ask Emma

Emma can create and update proposal templates; on the Library page, her starter **Improve templates** helps you tidy up your set. Check her changes before your team uses them.

Ask Emma

Look at our last three technical proposals in the library and create a proposal template with the
section structure they have in common.
