# What is a template?
Templates help you quickly copy options on different links.
It can be very helpful especially with override options (referers, user-agents) as it will load the lists directly when you create a new link.
Here are the steps to create and use templates:
- Choose a link as a base model to make the template
- Select the options to keep in the template
- Save the template
- Use the template on link creation

- Go to your my sites page
- Click on the configuration button
of one of your links and click on advanced options and info - At the top right of your page, you will see a
Save templatebutton

# Select the options to keep in the template
You can choose which option to keep in the template or not by checking/unchecking each of them.
If you don't see an option in the list, it means that the option is in its default state (disabled) on your link. Therefore, there is no need to save as it will be automatically applied when you create a new link.
