Template or collection?

Templates and collections both start from your designs, but they do different things. Choosing well saves you trainings and credits.

The difference

	Template	Collection
Learns from	One design	3 to 30 designs
Repeats	That exact design	The style: the drawing hand, the colours, the kind of content
You change	The photo, the name, the slogan	The idea: a text, an optional image or "Surprise me"
Trained with	Template Trainer	Collections Trainer

Both are born private and count towards your plan's limit.

Step by step: how to decide

1. Think about what will change from one order to the next.
2. If only the customer's details change (their photo, their name, a date) and the design must always be the same, train a template.
3. If you want new designs that look like they belong to the same line, on different themes, train a collection.
4. If you don't have the line's designs on your computer yet, look at Design Scraper to gather them.

When to use it

• A personalised gift with the customer's photo: template.
• Twenty new designs in the style of a line you already sell: collection. The catalogue has examples, such as the Kukuxumusu and Snoopy collections.
