# Manage email templates

Organizing your email templates efficiently helps your team collaborate, maintain consistency, and quickly locate the content you need.&#x20;

### **Using Folders to Organize Templates**

Folders help you categorize templates by purpose—for example: **Notifications**, **E-Commerce**, or **Promotions**—as shown in the screenshots. You can create as many folders as needed and move existing templates into them.

#### **Create a Folder**

1. Go to **Marketing → Content → Email templates**.
2. Click **Create email template** in the top-right dropdown.

<div align="left"><figure><img src="/files/wGJr1OiXpcLc8wdSGfSg" alt="" width="344"><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

3. Select **Create folder**.
4. Enter the folder name.
5. Click **Create**.

<div align="left"><figure><img src="/files/SYy1cks9ruz7EZbnBymH" alt="" width="375"><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

6. Your new folder will appear in the list at the top.

### **Move an Existing Template into a Folder**

1. Find the template you want to organize.
2. Click the **three-dot** on the right side of the row.

3. Select **Move to folder**.

<div align="left"><figure><img src="/files/PkmoHCCxujJbknIX0vjD" alt="" width="228"><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

4. Choose the target folder from the dropdown.

<figure><img src="/files/pr0akgQO3M94pDMByPPS" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

5. The template will now appear inside that folder.

This allows you to keep templates grouped by topic, audience, or campaign type.

### **Duplicate (Clone) an Email Template**

Cloning allows you to create a new editable version of an existing template.

1. Locate the template you want to duplicate.
2. Click the **three-dot menu**.
3. Select **Clone Template**.

<div align="left"><figure><img src="/files/PkmoHCCxujJbknIX0vjD" alt="" width="228"><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

4. A cloned copy is automatically created and opened in the template builder for editing.

{% hint style="warning" %}
If the original template is inside a folder, the cloned version **will not inherit the folder location**. It will appear in the **main list** instead. If you want it inside the same folder, you need to manually move it.
{% endhint %}

### **Delete a Template**

If a template is no longer needed:

1. Open the **three-dot menu** of that template.
2. Select **Delete Template**.
3. Confirm deletion.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Deleted templates cannot be recovered, so ensure you no longer need it before removing it.
{% endhint %}
