# How to save an estimate as a template and reuse it in a new project

Source: https://archiboard.design/help/how-to/estimate-template

Many projects are alike: the same sanitaryware, the same lighting, the same finishes. Instead of building the estimate again, save it as a template. In a new project, the template adds rooms, sections and priced items in a couple of clicks.

1. **Open templates.** Open a project with a finished estimate, go to «Estimates» and click «Templates».
2. **Save the estimate as a template.** In «Save estimate as template», enter a template name and click «Save». A message shows how many items went into the template.
3. **Apply the template in another project.** Open the new project → «Estimates» → «Templates». In «Apply template», choose one, click «Apply» and confirm adding the items.
4. **Fine-tune the estimate.** The template items are added to the current estimate. Change quantities, remove what you don't need and add what this project needs.

- A template includes rooms, sections and priced items. Payments, approvals and deliveries are not copied.
- A template does not replace the estimate; it adds items to the existing ones.
- You can delete a template you no longer need in the same window with «Delete».
