Setup Guide

Once you have bought or added a template to your account, you will see a dropdown in the New Application popup that lets you pick a template as the basis for the new application.
☝
Note: This can only be done when you create a new app.

Tip: A template isn't a theme for your app, but a pre-built set of elements and workflows. You can modify the template as you would modify another app.
Wait for Bubble to load the application with all the data.

After the application has loaded, you'll see the Component library on the right side for New Application. You can close it or follow the assistant steps to adjust different settings.

Reusable Elements Overview

Footer

The footer reusable element is located at the bottom of a page. It provides an example of how it can include external links, such as the company's social media, navigation, and copyright notices. A great website footer design keeps people engaged and moving through the website. The workflows included with this element are pretty straightforward to follow.

This reusable element is customizable, so it is possible to change styles and content of elements while keeping workflows or using it as inspiration for your own.

Header

The header reusable element sits at the top of each page and serves a few very important purposes. It does provide a place for the company's logo, navigation, and page title which are part of a consistent user experience that all good websites share.
Other common header features include search, shopping cart (for eCommerce), login/logout, user profile, and notifications (if applicable). The workflows included with this element are pretty straightforward to follow.
