How to Use a Project Template
To use a Project Template, go to the homepage of the app, Your Projects. Select your desired template from the options at the top of the page.
When you select a template, a new project will be created.

The first document in every template is a set of instructions. It will guide you on how to use the template to outline, visualize your story beats, and more.

Project Templates may contain:
- Detailed document-by-document outlines for a story
- Freeform Boards to visualize and plot out the beats of a story
- Suggested Story Elements, such as Characters and Settings
- Research Links to learn more about story structure
