Templates

Templates let you save a project as a reusable starting point, so you can run multiple experiments from the same foundation without starting over each time.

Why Templates Matter

If you've built a project to a point where it's a solid base — the layout is right, the design system is set, the core structure works — you can save it as a template. Then every new experiment, feature exploration, or design variation gets its own project, branching off from that common starting point.

This is especially useful when:

• You're a PM testing multiple feature directions on the same product
• You want to explore different designs without losing the original
• Your team needs a shared base that everyone starts from
• You're running workshops or design challenges with a consistent starting point

Saving a Template

1. Open the project you want to save as a template
2. Click the project name in the top-left corner to open the Project menu
3. Select Save as Template

In the modal, you can configure:

• Name — pre-filled with the project name, but you can change it
• Description — an optional summary that appears alongside the template on the Dashboard
• Preserve Secrets — include the values stored in the Keys panel (API keys, tokens, etc.)
• Preserve Chat History — include the conversation history from the Chat panel

Click Save and the template appears on your Dashboard.

Using a Template

Templates appear on your Dashboard. Click a template to create a new project based on it — Dazl copies the entire project (code, specs, theme, everything) into a fresh instance that you can modify independently.

The original template stays unchanged, so you can create as many projects from it as you need.
