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.
After you've selected a block you bought, complete the ”Name your app” field and press Create 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.
Congrats: You have successfully created a Bubble app based on your template. Now you're ready to go and dive into the Bubble no-code development toolset.
Remove Banner
This template comes with a promotional banner above the Header element. Feel free to remove it from your app.
Things to Note
Note: In case you would like to use it as part of a more complex app, for proper functioning, please be sure to create all relevant data types within your application database before copying the template, and adding the required plugins.
For reference, use the Data Types and Setup Guide sections as well as the Plugin tab of the template editor.

Reusable Elements Overview
Footer

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.

Release Notes
13 September 2023
UPDATE NOTE: This template received a complete overhaul of design as well as functionality. Most of the known bugs and issues have been fixed and new features added.
- 🎉 New template documentation
- 🔧 Added "Setup Guide" section
- ❔ Added "FAQs" section
- ✅ Added "Release Notes" section
- 🎬 Added "Video Overview" section
Note: Template updates don’t apply to the apps which were built on the template prior to updates becoming available.
Tip: To check changes in workflows and design after the release update, you can create a new block copy and compare the settings (design/workflow) of the new copy and the app you have.
So you don't have to "move" your customizations from your already edited template to the new block copy.
