# Templates

Reusable document formats that save time and ensure compliance across teams.

**Templates** allow you to design reusable document formats to standardize processes and save time.

Benefits:

* Create and store reusable templates
* Standardize formats for compliance and branding
* Avoid repetitive setup for similar workflows
* Control template access at department/user level
* Improve security with permission settings

**Example:** An HR manager creates an *Offer Letter* template for consistent use across new hires.

**Note:** Access to templates can be restricted by role or department.
