1. To begin, open the HelpStudio application. Once launched, proceed to open your specific project.
   If you are not sure about how to open or create a project, refer Create, Open, Copy a Project for instructions.

   Proceed to Step 2, if you want to create a new template within the existing project build profile. Alternatively, if you want to first create a new build profile and then create a new template within it, refer Build Profiles for instructions.

2. Navigate to the Project Explorer tab, right-click on the desired Build Profile and then select Edit where you intend to create a new template.
   This action opens the Output Settings page for the build profile.
   
   
   
3. In the Output Settings page, select Templates menu, where you can select the Default Template Family as Light.
   
   
   
4. Select <Create New> from the Topics dropdown menu.
5. In the New Template dialog:
   • Select Base on as Light (Browser Help) from dropdown menu as we are in the process of creating a new template based on the Light template.
   • Enter Template Name as My New Template and Description as New Template for Topics.
   • Select OK.
     This will create a new template for topics.
     
     

   Just as you created a new template for topics, similarly create a template for browser help navigation as well.

6. Make sure that all the options under Template Features are selected:

   • Adapt styles when dark mode enabled in modern browsers.
   • Generate "In This Topic" heading lists.
   • Allow the in-page Table of Contents to be resized.
7. Select Save All.
   we have successfully created new templates, and that are saved in your machine (Local Dick (C:)).
