Start new files from templates

Last updated on Aug 25, 2025

Learn how to start designing a new file using a template in Adobe Express.

On the Adobe Express homepage, navigate to Your stuff > Projects.

Open the project where the template is saved, and in the Custom templates section, select the template.

From the preview dialog box, you can browse the template pages and view any template notes or restrictions. Once ready, select Use template.

In the Quick replace panel, select Media and Text to replace the content.

Select the Template info button from the header view to see the template restrictions. Select Locks, Style, or Editor to view the brand style restrictions applied.

Note

You cannot replace locked items in a template. If you don't have access to a branded color or font, you can select the Request access button to gain access.
