Home > Help > Advanced Functions > Page Templates > Customizing a Page Template Customizing a Page Template If most of the pages that you add to your help project have the same format, or elements that are the same, it may be useful to customize an existing page template or create a new one. Follow the steps below to customize the 'Help Page' template. 1. Login to your help project as an administrator with the 'tools' permission. 2. Click the tools button to show the 'Tools' menu. 3. Select 'Page Templates' to display the 'Page Templates' form. Note: To delete a template, click the 'delete' icon. 4. Use the template editor to modify the content. You may want to include your product or company logo to the top of each page, as shown in the example below. Click 'save' to save the template. 5. Each new page added to your help system will be created from this customized template. See also Creating a Page Template Customizing the PDF Template
