Why use Foleon templates?
Foleon templates are designed to support content creation by offering structure, guidance, and flexibility. They act like blank coloring pages, giving you a layout that you can fully customize to suit your story and style.
There are four types of Foleon templates to help you get started:
- Doc templates - Full, multi-page layouts tailored to specific content types
- Page templates - Individual pages you can add to existing Docs
- Overlay templates - Ready-made layouts for your overlay content
- Block templates - Content blocks you can drag and drop onto any page or overlay
💡 After customizing a Foleon template, you can save your version as a Workspace or Shared template to reuse across your organization.
