Save time and reduce repeated work — creating a template means you can reuse a session structure again and again.
What is a template?
A template is a session you've saved to reuse - a complete agenda with all its blocks, timings, instructions and materials, kept as a master version. A template can also include Pages and Forms.
Each time you use a template, SessionLab creates a new, separate session containing everything from the template. That session is yours to adapt - change the timings, swap activities, rewrite your notes. The template itself stays untouched, ready for the next time.
You’ll find a collection of public templates in the template library and you can also create your own templates so you can reuse and modify them for future sessions.
Template creation is only available on the Pro or Business SessionLab plans, or when you’re in the trial period of one of these plans. You just need to open the session plan that you want to turn into a template, and under the Export option, choose the ‘Create template’ option. This will create a new instance of your session which will behave as a template from then on. The original source will stay as a regular session at your disposal.
If your session had only one Day, you can also create a template from the Day menu on the left-hand side of your planner:
Once you’ve created your template, the template owner is able to edit it and add a template cover image.
