Create professional Docs templates In Google Docs, you can create templates for anyone in your organization to use. Set up several preformatted templates for reports, letters, or newsletters, so you don’t redesign these every time. As the admin, you can always create and manage templates. You can add them to your domain’s custom template gallery. To make it easy for users to find the kind of template they want, place your templates in existing or new categories that you create. You can also remove categories or templates.
