Learn how to start designing a new file using a template in Adobe Express.

On the Adobe Express homepage, navigate to Your stuff > Projects.

Open the project that contains the template.

Select the template from the Custom templates section.

From the preview dialog box, browse the template pages and review notes or restrictions. Once ready, select Use template.

In the Quick replace panel, select Media and Text to replace the content from the design.

To check template restrictions, select the Template info button in the header. To view brand style controls, select Locks, Style, or Editor.
