# Step templates

A step template is a flow step you've saved so you can reuse it in other flows. Save a speech bubble, tooltip, or modal once, then add it to any flow instead of building it again. Templates take on the theme of the flow you add them to.

## How do I save a step as a template?

You can save any speech bubble, tooltip, or modal as a template. The template keeps the step's content, settings, and selected target element, but not its links to other steps. Anyone on your Userflow team can use saved templates.

1. Open the step's settings and click **Save as template**. ![The Save as template option in a flow step's settings](https://cdn.us.document360.io/9697557a-eb5d-476f-9b09-062b0f7bdcbd/Images/Documentation/image(130).png)
2. Enter a name and description for the template, then click **Create Template**. ![The Create Template dialog with name and description fields](https://cdn.us.document360.io/9697557a-eb5d-476f-9b09-062b0f7bdcbd/Images/Documentation/image(131).png)
3. Close the confirmation. ![Confirmation that the step template was saved](https://cdn.us.document360.io/9697557a-eb5d-476f-9b09-062b0f7bdcbd/Images/Documentation/image(132).png)

## How do I add a step template to a flow?

1. In the Flow builder, either click **Templates** before adding a step, or click **Start with a template** after adding one. ![The Templates button in the Flow builder](https://cdn.us.document360.io/9697557a-eb5d-476f-9b09-062b0f7bdcbd/Images/Documentation/image(133).png) ![The Start with a template option on a new step](https://cdn.us.document360.io/9697557a-eb5d-476f-9b09-062b0f7bdcbd/Images/Documentation/image(134).png)
2. Click the template you want, then edit the step as needed. Because links to other steps aren't saved, connect the new step to the rest of the flow. See [Adding and deleting steps in a flow](/userflow/docs/adding-and-deleting-steps). ![The list of saved step templates to choose from](https://cdn.us.document360.io/9697557a-eb5d-476f-9b09-062b0f7bdcbd/Images/Documentation/image(135).png)

## How do I rename or delete a step template?

While viewing your saved templates, click the options menu on a template and select **Rename** or **Delete**. Make your edit and save, or confirm the deletion.
