You can select, preview, and create a new document from an existing template. You can either use the New Document dialog box to select a template from any of your Dreamweaver-defined sites or use the Assets panel to create a new document from an existing template.

Create a document based on a template

  1. Select File > New.

  3. In the Site column, select the Dreamweaver site that contains the template you want use, and then select a template from the list on the right.
  4. Deselect Update Page When Template Changes if you don’t want to update this page each time you make changes to the template on which this page is based.
  5. Click Preferences if you want to set default document preferences, such as a document type, encoding, and a file extension.
  6. Click Get More Content if you want to open Dreamweaver Exchange where you can download more page design content.
  7. Click Create and save the document (File > Save).

Create a document from a template in the Assets panel

    If you just created the template you want to apply, you might need to click the Refresh button to see it.

    The document opens in the Document window.
