====== Importing a template ======

===== Preparing your template and files for import =====

To import your own [[templates|template]] into Sentori you must upload the HTML and images (unless they're hosted elsewhere) in a Zip file with the following files and structure:

=== How to setup your Zip file ===

  * Your HTML file must be named index.html
  * All content (the index.html file and any image files) must either be loose in the root of the Zip file, or contained in a single folder inside of it.
  * The "src" attribute of any images must either use absolute URLs to images hosted elsewhere or simply contain the name of the file found in the Zip file so <img src="logo.png" /> and //not// <img src="**images/**logo.png" />.

Note: by default Macs will automatically create a sub-folder inside a Zip file.
===== Importing your template =====

  * Click the top-right cog menu, then choose Templates > Manage Templates.
  * Click Upload Template and choose whether you are uploading an email or a webpage template.
  * Specify a Name (this is internal to Sentori only), description (optional), and reply address (email only).
  * Click the Choose File button and locate your Zip file on your computer.
  * Click Upload My Zip File.

===== Setting up your template =====

Once your template is uploaded, you can then click its cog button and select [[edit-template|Edit Default Content & Layout]]. This allows you to go into the editor's [[content-mode|content mode]] and [[layout-mode|layout mode]] in order to make changes to the template. Any changes you make here will be picked up the next time someone creates a new email using your template.

You can copy your template and create variations of it using the above technique. This can be very useful to provide a series of default starting points for different types of email.
