Applying templates to messages Follow

Once you've created a few templates in your Outpost account, you can start applying them to your messages. Here are some useful things to know about templates:

• You can combine templates with your own writing - in other words, the template won't replace any text you've already written in a message.

• You can apply more than one template to the same message.

• When you apply a template, it will appear where your cursor is currently placed in the message.

• Once you've applied a template to a message, you can edit that text as needed.
