Creating a new template requires only a few steps: 1. In your account, create a new collection named **Templates** (learn more about [How to create a new collection](https://observablehq.com/@observablehq/collections?collection=@observablehq/editing-publishing-collaborating)). 2. Create the new custom template, either from scratch or by [forking](https://observablehq.com/@observablehq/fork-share-merge) one of the pre-defined [Observable Templates](https://observablehq.com/templates). 3. Add the new custom template to your **Templates** collection by clicking **Add to collection** from the notebook menu (). 36:[{"id":"af7d38ddb615acc348481a87068433dbc80e804e2136b5172fe3082003f1de2040baed77926e26f7aae669d6b9ade049f28030f6ac6ed186b6db518ceb326868","href":"https://static.observableusercontent.com/files/af7d38ddb615acc348481a87068433dbc80e804e2136b5172fe3082003f1de2040baed77926e26f7aae669d6b9ade049f28030f6ac6ed186b6db518ceb326868","name":"code-reuse@1.png","type":"image/png","lastModified":1669856759991.264,"size":667830},{"id":"76408ac762f2c821dfeeda57b59f044cb3844bf9a1556240a60c1f0ebcb6f4c87d774e4109c3bc198ac1c76118757cd7bbe3dc427b1001423b6592d32968fbdb","href":"https://static.observableusercontent.com/files/76408ac762f2c821dfeeda57b59f044cb3844bf9a1556240a60c1f0ebcb6f4c87d774e4109c3bc198ac1c76118757cd7bbe3dc427b1001423b6592d32968fbdb","name":"reuseViz.mov","type":"video/quicktime","lastModified":1669866632395.519,"size":14432073},{"id":"d9e7ac8a7d87eae5c097521fe33eb471c4a989657663f168a710fde5d44ac146517c2b2827a3ccf0fe7f669de91457ba18bf3ab7ba88628bf71f2724aa51f56d","href":"https://static.observableusercontent.com/files/d9e7ac8a7d87eae5c097521fe33eb471c4a989657663f168a710fde5d44ac146517c2b2827a3ccf0fe7f669de91457ba18bf3ab7ba88628bf71f2724aa51f56d","name":"import.mov","type":"video/quicktime","lastModified":1669867959832.898,"size":1573572},{"id":"de828710b7056c01fa060984e985d1b5cc62bb5bb28a220039b4a5ae4dcaa0e96d550f7a6b4ec1adca9a189d5650b75fd95fab0bd6d1922c0207c07e976b5290","href":"https://static.observableusercontent.com/files/de828710b7056c01fa060984e985d1b5cc62bb5bb28a220039b4a5ae4dcaa0e96d550f7a6b4ec1adca9a189d5650b75fd95fab0bd6d1922c0207c07e976b5290","name":"templates.mov","type":"video/quicktime","lastModified":1669870036229.638,"size":7605702},{"id":"7663ad006d5ff0b8359b0bbce2206a0d52cbff93def752316b6f3da738da85a2cd21e850899a98914a8d958cc5e8a0ef04406bdcdc32c1147af02817b33b7c73","href":"https://static.observableusercontent.com/files/7663ad006d5ff0b8359b0bbce2206a0d52cbff93def752316b6f3da738da85a2cd21e850899a98914a8d958cc5e8a0ef04406bdcdc32c1147af02817b33b7c73","name":"small-project-management.png","type":"image/png","lastModified":1669912997394.675,"size":170216}] 33:{"id":"71b6812e438d9f14","slug":"enterprise-pro-team-onboarding-reusing-content","title":"Enterprise & Pro Team Onboarding: Reusing content","thumbnail":"381edb288004fe5a1c396c23d21389f1492c134707b090a26ef929215a059ddb","access_level":"public","create_time":"$D2022-11-28T20:20:30.587Z","update_time":"$D2023-01-06T03:19:05.676Z","view_time":null,"first_public_time":"$D2022-12-12T19:35:44.577Z","has_unpublished_edits":null,"fork":false,"stars":2,"starred":false,"owner":{"type":"team","id":"f35c755083683fe5","login":"observablehq","name":"Observable","avatar_url":"https://avatars-next.observableusercontent.com/424c6c1f7794371c9915a160519bdfb34cf34e50069fcd6def38a1a04d4e9702","tier":"enterprise_2024"},"version":208,"publish_version":null,"role":null,"authored":false,"authors":[],"members":[{"type":"team","id":"f35c755083683fe5","login":"observablehq","name":"Observable","avatar_url":"https://avatars-next.observableusercontent.com/424c6c1f7794371c9915a160519bdfb34cf34e50069fcd6def38a1a04d4e9702","tier":"enterprise_2024","role":"editor"}],"comments":[],"custom_thumbnail":true,"trashed":false,"lapsed":null,"subscribed":null,"forks":0,"collection":{"id":"7d602801a42f7e34","slug":"enterprise-training-curriculum","title":"Enterprise & Pro Team Onboarding","owner":{"id":"f35c755083683fe5","login":"observablehq","name":"Observable"}},"type":"notebook","body":{"title":"Enterprise & Pro Team Onboarding: Reusing content","cells":[{"id":0,"value":"# Enterprise & Pro Team Onboarding: Reusing content","pinned":false,"hidden":false,"mode":"md","author":"$undefined","summary":"$undefined","output":"","database":"$undefined"},{"id":50,"value":"
