Reuse a visual direction with templates

A template is a saved set of Generation Settings, with a name and a thumbnail, that you can apply to any product in one click. By the end of this guide you will have applied a template, adjusted it, and saved your own version so the look stays consistent across products.

Before you start

• You can open Studio with at least one product, see Studio.
• To save a template, a template card must already show in the Template section (you will apply one in step 1).

Apply a template

1. Open the template picker

1. Open a product in Studio and find the Template section of the settings panel.
2. Click Select Templates. A full-screen picker opens.

2. Find the right template

1. In the left sidebar, under Library, choose All Templates, My Templates (templates you or your workspace saved), References, or Packs. Each shows a count.
2. Under Media Types, choose Images, Videos, or Edit to narrow the list. Click the active one again to clear it.
3. Type in Search templates... at the top to filter by name.
4. In All Templates, image templates are grouped by industry. Where an industry has scene tabs, click a scene name to narrow that group, or All to see everything.

If nothing matches, the picker shows No templates found. In My Templates it tells you to save a template from Studio.

3. Check what a template does first (optional)

1. Hover a template card and click the three-dot button in its top-right corner.
2. Click View Details.
3. Read Applied Settings (mode, ratio, quality and prompt) and the Generation Settings it sets.
4. Click Cancel to go back, or Use This Template to apply it (this opens the template's Studio page, where you choose the products).

4. Apply it

1. Click the template card. It shows Use when you hover it. The picker closes.
2. The Template section now shows a card with the template name and thumbnail.

Your prompt, Generation Settings, aspect ratio, quality and number of variants change to match the template. Your chosen model stays as it was. A video template works differently: it switches the panel to the Video tab and leaves your image settings alone.

To remove the template, click Clear templates (the circular arrow on the section header).

Adjust it for this product

1. Change any setting, the prompt, or the output options, exactly as in Generate images.
2. Your edits do not change the saved template. They only affect this session until you save them, below.

Save your settings as a template

1. Click Save settings (the disk icon) on the Template section header.
2. If the template is one you own, choose how to save at the top of the dialog:

- Update overwrites the applied template with your current settings. The dialog lists What changed so you can check. - Save as new keeps the original and creates a separate template. The dialog lists What's saved.

1. Type a Template name, for example "Sunlit living room". The save button stays disabled until you do.
2. Optional: click the square thumbnail to pick a different image. The window is titled Choose thumbnail and lets you choose from your Library, explore images, or upload one, then click Use thumbnail.
3. Optional: add a Description (optional).
4. With Update, leave Update all sessions currently applied with this template ticked to refresh open sessions that use it, or untick it to leave them as they are.
5. Click Update template (Update) or Save to My Templates (Save as new).

A message confirms it, for example Template "Sunlit living room" saved to your templates.

To rename a template or change its thumbnail, use Update and edit the name or thumbnail before saving.

Manage My Templates

1. Open Select Templates and choose My Templates in the sidebar.
2. Hover a template, click its three-dot button, and choose Delete. The template is removed right away, with no confirmation.

You can delete only your own personal templates. To rename one, use Update as described above.

Run several templates together with packs

A pack is a named group of up to 6 templates that you run together.

Build a pack

1. In the picker, click the circle in the top-left corner of two or more template cards. A bar appears at the bottom showing how many are selected, for example 2/6 selected.
2. To run them now, click Use.
3. To keep them as a pack, edit the pack name in the bar and click Create Pack. A message confirms it. Epox tells you if you try to pick more than 6.

You can also open Packs in the sidebar and click Add Pack (Create a template pack) to pick templates and name the pack there.

Use a pack

1. Open the picker, choose Packs, and click the pack.
2. In the Studio panel each template shows as a card. Tick or untick a card to include it in the run.
3. Click Generate Pack Session to run them.
4. If you change a template inside a pack, a small save icon appears on its card. Click it to save that change. Click Save pack on the header to save a pack you built in the panel.
5. To add more, click Add template on the header, then New blank template or Add existing template.

Create a template from a reference image

Use this when you have an image whose look you want to repeat.

1. In the picker, choose References, then click Add a Reference (Upload an image to extract settings).
2. Drop, paste or browse for an image.
3. Under Product type, type what is in the image, for example "office chair". This is required.
4. Optional: describe the scene or elements to focus on.
5. Click Analyze & Create Template. A message says Template created from reference image and the template appears under References.
