Create a template from an existing document

1. Open the document you want to save as a template.
2. Do one of the following:

   • Select File > Save As Template.

   • In the Common category of the Insert panel, click the Templates button, then select Make Template from the pop-up menu.

     Note: Unless you selected Don’t Show This Dialog Again in the past, you’ll receive a warning that says the document you’re saving has no editable regions. Click OK to save the document as a template, or click Cancel to exit this dialog box without creating a template.
3. Select a site to save the template in from the Site pop‑up menu, and then enter a unique name for the template in the Save As box.
4. Click Save. Dreamweaver saves the template file in the site’s Templates folder in the local root folder of the site, with a .dwt filename extension. If the Templates folder does not already exist in the site, Dreamweaver automatically creates it when you save a new template.
   Note: Do not move your templates out of the Templates folder, or put any non-template files in the Templates folder. Also, do not move the Templates folder out of your local root folder. Doing so causes errors in paths in the templates.
