# Vault Templates

Create reusable layouts for meeting notes, project pages, and recurring documents. Phasoric supports ordinary Markdown templates and Knap templates with structured inputs, loops, and filters.

## Configuring Templates

1. Go to the **Templates** page.
2. Select **New template** and give it a name.
3. Define placeholders (like `{{date}}`, `{{title}}`, or `{{time}}`).
4. Choose **Markdown** for the standard placeholders or **Knap** for richer formatting.
5. Use **Validate syntax** and **Preview output**, then **Save template**.
6. Select **Create note** to create a note from the saved layout.

## Knap templates with structured data

Follow [Knap Markdown Templates](/guides/knap-markdown-templates) for a complete JSON-to-Markdown example, source loops, links, and YAML frontmatter. Test variables are preview inputs; note creation supplies the title, vault, folder, date, time, and datetime.

Each save retains a new template version. Existing notes remain ordinary Markdown and are not rewritten when you change a template. Export a template as `.md.knap` or export its JSON definition with schema and metadata.

## Templates for editable artifacts

In Artifact Studio, choose a saved **Rendering template** to format the title, request, and selected source objects into an editable preview. Review it before saving. Browse [artifact studios and packs](/marketplace) to see the available workflows.
