Templates written for your brand#
On Discover, the Templates written for your brand box has a Write templates button. Social9 writes 12 post formats in your brand's voice. It uses 4 credits.
Your own templates#
Open the Personal tab and press New Template. Give it a Title and the text, then Save. Use the pencil to edit one, or the bin to delete it. Personal templates belong to one brand.
They are the same as Saved snippets in Create. See Create a post.
Ideas#
Templates give you a shape for a post. The Ideas board is for topics you want to post about. You can use both: pick an idea, then start from a template.
