Share templates with controlled permissions
Last updated on
Oct 9, 2024
Learn how to add lock permissions and brand controls to a shared template.
Try the app
Use any of your designs and follow along to share templates with controlled permissions.
Before you begin:
Review the exceptions to brand style restrictions on shared templates.
-
-
In the Make a Template window, enter a name for the template.
-
Open the Save to dropdown to save the template to existing Brands or Libraries, or select the icon to create a new Brand or Library for the template.
-
Select Note to type tips and guidance for the collaborator on how to use the template.
-
Select Locks & Restrictions.
-
Slide the toggles to add Editor restrictions and Lock restrictions.
Editor restrictions:
- Style controls: Access is limited to the colors and fonts in the selected Brand or Library, including neutral colors (black, white, transparent) and template fonts not in the brand.
- Content controls: Access is restricted to Adobe’s media and template library. Access is limited to templates and available layers, preventing new content additions.
Lock restrictions: You can choose if collaborators remixing the template can unlock locked design elements. Lock restrictions are greyed out if no elements are locked. Learn how to lock design elements.
- Style controls: Access is limited to the colors and fonts in the selected Brand or Library, including neutral colors (black, white, transparent) and template fonts not in the brand.
-
Select Save restrictions, then select Save template.
-
Once the template is saved, select Copy link to share the template.
