# Template Builder

# Getting Started with Templates

This document provides an overview of the various email templates that are available in Reveal Hold. There are a number of different templates, such as custodian or stakeholder hold notices and reminder or release notices. Many of these templates can be customized. In this document, we will walk through how to create a template, edit a template, and delete templates.

## Managing Templates

Templates can be created and customized in the **Administration** section. To access this area, login and navigate to the Administration section, then expand **Legal Hold** from the menu on the left, and finally select **Legal Hold Templates**.
