# Templates

> Upload proposal templates so Emma drafts responses in the shape your team prefers.

Emma follows a template's sections when she drafts. Open **Library** and click the **Templates** tab.

| Kind | What it is |
| - | - |
| Uploaded template | A file, such as a Word proposal template, response form or model submission. |
| **Saved template** | A reusable proposal structure (kind **Structure**): a name, a description and section headings. Saved templates are structures, not downloadable files. |

## Upload a template

**1. On the **Templates** tab, click **Add New**, then **Upload template****

**2. Choose the files**

They are saved as proposal templates.

**3. Check the **Title****

Use a title that says when to use the template, for example "Technical proposal, public sector IT services".

**4. Click **Upload****

## Use a template in a draft

**Point Emma at the template.** In the chat, attach the template from your workspace, or name it in your request, and ask Emma to draft in its structure. See [Working with Emma](https://docs.reyda.ai/emma/working-with-emma.md#give-emma-context).

## Edit a saved template

**1. On the **Templates** tab, click a saved template**

**Edit template** opens.

**2. Change the **Name** and the **Description****

The description tells Emma when the template should be used.

**3. Edit the **Structure****

Use headings to define the proposal sections. Reyda shows how many sections it detected.

**4. Click **Save changes****

> [!TIP]
>
> Buyer-provided forms come first. If a tender includes its own response form or template, Emma aims
> to complete that form in its required format rather than replace it with yours. Use your templates
> for the parts the buyer leaves open, such as a technical proposal or a method statement.

## Ask Emma

Emma can create and update proposal templates; on the Library page, her starter **Improve templates** helps you tidy up your set. Check her changes before your team uses them.

Ask Emma

Look at our last three technical proposals in the library and create a proposal template with the
section structure they have in common.
