## How to Apply a Template

1. Navigate to **Marketplace** from the main menu
2. Quick Start Templates appear at the top of the page
3. Click **Import Template** on your chosen template
4. Review the preview of what will be created
5. Confirm the import

## What Happens After Import

- All components (pipeline stages, projects, workflows, email sequences, forms, and workspace pages) are created in your account
- **Workflows and email sequences are imported as inactive** so you can review and customize them before turning them on
- If your plan does not include a specific module (e.g., Workflows), that component is skipped and noted in the import summary
- Everything created is fully editable. Customize pipeline stages, email copy, form fields, and project tasks to match your business

## Quick Start Templates vs. Marketplace Blueprints

Quick Start Templates are built-in bundles that set up multiple components at once for a specific business type. The Marketplace also offers individual blueprints (project templates, workflows, email sequences, forms, proposal templates, contract templates, and more) that you can browse, import, and even publish your own for the community.

For more on individual blueprints, see the **Blueprints and Marketplace** article.
