# Option A: Choose a Template

Click the **⊞ grid icon** (Templates) in the toolbar, pick a layout from the **BT Templates** tab, and click **Use This Template**. Three things happen immediately:

1. **The layout JSON is imported:** Every section, column, and component is placed on the canvas exactly as designed in the template.
2. **The theme is updated:** The template's built-in theme is applied to Site Settings. Components like Tabs, Speakers, and Pricing cards automatically reflect the new color tokens.
3. **Event data auto-wires:** Components like Date & Time, Pricing, Speakers, and Session Schedule immediately pull live data from your Salesforce event record.

**Available templates:**

- **Bold Conference:** Hero · Speakers · Schedule · Tickets · Venue · FAQ · CTA
- **Tabbed Conference:** Tabbed layout with Schedule · Speakers · FAQ · Pricing · Sponsors
- **AI Event / Webinar:** Info Cards · Schedule · Speakers · Pricing · Location · FAQ
- **Healthcare Research Conference:** Schedule · Speakers · Pricing · Location · About · FAQ
- **Simple Checkout Modern Design:** Image · Sessions · Checkout form · Sponsors · FAQ
- **Charity Gala:** Hero imagery · Sponsors · Info cards · Schedule · Location
- **Octoberlights Fest:** Pricing · Sponsors · Schedule · Info Cards · Speakers · FAQ

⚠️
**Applying a template overwrites your Site Settings, including the theme you just set with the Theme Wizard.** After clicking "Use This Template", go to **Site Settings → Theme → Your Org Themes** and re-select your saved theme. It was saved during the wizard step, so it will always be there.

💡
To edit any element, just **click it on the canvas.** The corresponding settings panel auto-focuses in the right sidebar. Click a component to edit that component, a column to adjust column settings, a section to control the section layout, or a tab to manage tab content.
