## Worth knowing

Picking a template sets the title (dropping a trailing ' template'), replaces the whole body and switches the editor to live mode. It overwrites anything already typed. Confluence's space-level and global template galleries are not available in Jira.

## Where to find it

Editor modal > Templates

![The templates dropdown open in the Markdown editor, listing Checklist, Blog Post, FAQ, Tutorial, API Documentation, Architecture Design and Cheatsheet, each with a one line description.](https://help.gocapable.com/images/59db338e-eb9d-4e91-b5b6-4b1abb59372f.webp)

Each starter carries a short description, so you can tell at a glance what it sets up.
