# Making a template

Give your authors a helping hand by using **templates** in your documentation space. You will need Space Administrator permissions to create templates.

**To create a template:**

1. Go to "**Space Tools**" in the sidebar, select "**Content Tools**" and create a new template.
2. Click "**Page Layout**" and add sections and columns to your page.
3. Add headings and sub-headings as needed.
4. Choose "**Instructional Text**" from the "**Template**" menu and add text that is only visible in the editor.
5. Save your template.

Your template will become available in the Create dialog for this space.
