What are templates?

A template is a pre-designed mural that has been created to save time building works in the mural. Some templates have activities, prompts, instructions, and sticky notes. You can create different murals directly from these templates.

Global and workspace templates

Within the template library there are two tabs of templates. The first contains MURAL’s global template library. The second has workspace-specific templates.

MURAL’s global template library contains templates for a wide range of use cases and purposes. Any MURAL member can access and use these templates. If you have a template to share with the world, you can also submit your template to be part of the global library.

Workspace templates have been published by members of your organization to the workspace. Workspace members can share these templates with anyone, but they are only published in the specific workspace. These templates are valuable for sharing specific processes for your organization or team. 

If a template is part of your workspace library, you can still share a link to the template with collaborators. Here’s how: 

  1. Go to the templates section on the MURAL dashboard
  2. Locate the desired template and click on its thumbnail to open the template.
  3. Click share on the upper right corner of the template.
  4. Copy the link for the template to share with collaborators.

Hi there, I'm Hailey Temple and let me introduce you to templates. A template is a pre- designed mural that we've created for you to save time building your work in MURAL. So you can see here, this template already has some activities. It has some prompts and questions here, instructions and sticky notes. So I can create a mural directly from this template. And now I've saved time building and creating a mural for my work. You can find a huge selection of templates within your MURAL workspace under the templates section. 

We have lots to choose from so you can scroll through or you can search for murals by category. So all of the brainstorming murals are right here. These are global templates, but we also have specific templates that others may have published in your workspace. 

So this is fantastic If you are using a specific process, you're going to repeat it again and again. Having a template available is incredibly helpful to share and use again for yourself or to share with others.

Another way that you can create a mural from a template is actually within a room. So if I click on a room where I want a mural to live, I have this create new mural piece right here. And I only have this if I have editing rights in that room. I'll click Create new mural. I can search the same template library, and once I've decided which one I want to use, simply click Create mural and I'm ready to go. 

So remember the template library in your mural workspace. It is a great place to quickly get started with repeatable and scalable activities.
