# Custom Templates

You can save any board you create as a custom template to your organization. This becomes a quick way to organise the templates your team uses often or those that you've made specifically for the way your team works.

To add a template here, create a board and then go to Templates > 'Your Org Templates' and use the 'Add Template' button, this will bring up a list of all of your boards:
