# Blum Templates

**Theme:** Blum · **Section type:** Overview

A template is the layout of one type of page, for example all product pages or all collection pages. Blum has a default template for each page type, and you can create extra templates to give some products, collections, or pages a different layout.

> **Note:** A new template shows on the store only after you assign it to a product, collection, page, blog, or blog post in your Shopify admin. The theme must be published for its templates to appear in the admin.

## Edit a default template
1. In the theme editor, open the page selector at the top.
2. Select a page type, then select the **Default** template, for example **Products** > **Default product**.
3. Add, change, or reorder sections.
4. Click **Save**.

Changes to a default template show on every item that doesn't have another template.

## Create a new template
1. In the theme editor, open the page selector at the top.
2. Select a page type, for example **Pages**, then click **Create template**.
3. Enter a **Name** for the template.
4. In **Based on**, select the template to copy.
5. Click **Create template**, then add and arrange sections.
6. Click **Save**.

> **Tip:** Base a new template on the closest existing one. You start with its sections and only change what's different.

## Assign a template to a product, collection, or page
1. In your Shopify admin, open the product, collection, page, blog, or blog post.
2. In **Theme template**, select the template.
3. Click **Save**.

## What customers see
- **Default template:** every product, collection, or page that doesn't have another template uses the default layout.
- **Assigned template:** an item with its own template shows that template's sections, for example a page built with the about-us template.

## Troubleshooting
**My new template doesn't appear in the Theme template list.**
Templates appear in the admin only for the published theme. Publish the theme, or check the template list again after you publish.

**I changed a template, but one product still looks the same.**
That product uses another template. Open it in your Shopify admin and check **Theme template**.

**I edited the quick-view template and Quick shop changed.**
The quick-view product template controls the Quick shop popup. Edit it only to change the popup.
