Cacoo offers hundreds of templates to inspire and jumpstart your next project.
In this guide, we’ll show you how to:
- Access templates
- Search templates
- Add multiple templates
- Edit templates
Access templates
There are two ways to access templates in Cacoo:
- In the dashboard, select the template icon on the top left of the sidebar.
- In an open board, select the template icon in the tool menu.
Premium templates are only available with paid plans.
Search templates
Whether you access Cacoo’s templates via the dashboard or the board tool menu, both options will open the template library where you can search hundreds of options. Search by keyword or category for templates to help you with brainstorming, infrastructure, decision-making, design, and more.
To use a template, hover over the image and select “Use template.” If you’re in the dashboard, a new board is created using the template. If you have a specific folder selected, it’s added there. If you’re in the editor, the template is added to the current sheet (if there aren’t existing shapes) or to a new sheet.
To preview a template, hover over the image and select “Preview.”
Add multiple templates
Create more dynamic, complex boards by adding multiple templates to a single sheet. Single-page templates are automatically added to the current sheet (to the right of previously added templates). Multi-page templates can start on the current sheet or a new one.
Edit templates
To edit a template, select or double-click the object you want to change. If an object can’t be edited, lock icons appear at each corner when it’s selected. To unlock an object, select it and then the “Unlock” icon from the editor menu.
Most templates also include a section with additional objects that can be added and customized.
