# Template Note Usage

Template notes are used to define the content for newly created notes. Templates are just like regular notes with some additional features.

You can define a single template note for Gnote and one for each notebook you have. These templates define the content of every new note you create:

Every new note you create in Gnote, but not in any of notebooks, will have have a content of main application template. If template is not created, the default content is used.

Every new note created in a notebook will have a content of template note, if it is present for that notebook. If template note for a notebook is not defined, the default note content will be used.

To create or modify template note:

## Main template note

Open Gnote preferences and in General tab press the Open Template Note button.

## Notebook template note

Right click on notebook in Search All Notes window and select Open Template Note.

# Template Note Features

Template note is like an ordinary note except that it is not shown in a note list and has a template bar at the top.

## Template note

Template note window

Template bar has the following features:

## Convert to regular note

Press this button to turn the template into a regular note, visible in the list of notes. This action is similar to deleting template note.

## Save Size

If you check this box, the size of newly created note will be identical to that of template note. When this checkbox is not checked, the window of new note is of default size.

## Save Selection

If this box is checked, new notes will not only have the content of template note, but also the initial selection. Use this option if you want certain part of content in the new note to be initialy selected.

## Save Title

This checkbox allows to base the title of new note on a title of template note. With this box checked, new note will have a title of template note with a unique number appended. Otherwise the default title will be used.
