title: Design Studio templates
|
||||
description: Educators can create templates to use in a classroom or for a lesson. Templates make it easy for students to make their own projects.
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
Educators can create templates to kickstart a student's project in Roblox Studio. These templates can be fully realized experiences, or pre-existing Roblox templates customized with your organization's branding.
|
||||
|
||||
This guide outlines the process of creating a template and making it accessible to students.
|
||||
|
||||
## Benefits of templates
|
||||
|
||||
One benefit of templates is they can provide students a **curated** set of assets to work with, such as 3D models or scripts. This can be a great alternative to having students create their own assets, which can be time consuming, or using models from the Toolbox.
|
||||
|
||||
Premade assets can also be a part of lesson plans. Such as challenging students to create apply urban planning to design a city, or perhaps debug a set of scripts.

|
||||
|
||||
Templates already installed in Roblox Studio can also be customized to include **branding**, such as your organization's logo.

||||
## Customize or develop a template
|
||||
|
||||
Templates can be any Roblox project designed in Roblox Studio.
|
||||
|
||||
One way of creating a custom template is to **modify an existing** template in Roblox Studio. Studio includes multiple pre-made games that can be customized.

||||

</GridContainer>
|
||||
|
||||
Another way of creating a custom template is to **design a new one**. Though, depending on the scale of your template, this could even be providing a blank workspace with premade scripts.

## Publish a template
|
||||
|
||||
To distribute a template, you'll **publish** it to Roblox. Once on the Roblox cloud, students can access it online from any machine, without having to worry about local storage and file transfers.
|
||||
|
||||
Templates can be published either as individual Roblox users or [groups](https://en.help.roblox.com/hc/en-us/articles/203313730-How-to-Make-and-Join-Groups). Each has its own benefits.
|
||||

||||

<p><strong>Group Publishing</strong></p>

|

|
||||
</td>
|

</tr>
|
||||

|

</table>
|
||||
|
||||
<Alert severity="warning">
|
||||
If your organization chooses to run a group, only allow your developers inside
|
||||
that group. Do not allow students to join. If in a group, a student may
|
||||
accidentally make unintended modifications to a template.
|
||||
</Alert>
|
||||
|
||||
### Publish the template
|
||||
|
||||
With a template ready, it can be published to Roblox, so students can access it online. Once a template is published, educators are responsible for sharing it through a learning management system such as Google Classroom or a messaging system like email.
|
||||
|
||||
1. In Roblox Studio, in the top-left, click on **File** ⟩ **Publish to Roblox As**.
|
||||
|
||||
<Alert severity="info">
|
||||
When students open a template, the first thing they see will be the view of
|
||||
the template where it was last saved. To do this, before publishing use the
|
||||
camera controls to position the in-game view to where you expect students to
|
||||
start working.
|
||||
</Alert>
|
||||
|
||||
2. At the bottom left of the pop-up, click **Create new game**.
|
||||
|
||||
<img src="../../assets/education/legacy/devStarted-createNewGame.jpg" />
|
||||
|
||||
3. Complete the basic info, such as **name** and **description**. This will be shown to all students on the template's Roblox webpage.
|
||||
4. In the **Creator** field, click on the dropdown. Individual developers should use **Me**, while those in development groups should use the name of that group.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
5. Finish by clicking the **Create** button.
|
||||

||||

|
||||
|
||||
### Set up the template to copy
|
||||
|
||||
Even though the template is now published on Roblox, students need to be able to copy it in their own version of Studio.
|
||||
|
||||
1. In the same template, select **File** ⟩ **Experience Settings**.
|
||||
|
||||
<Alert severity="info">
|
||||
<AlertTitle>Adding Screenshots and Icons</AlertTitle>
|
||||
On your experience's webpage, [screenshots](../../production/publishing/thumbnails.md) and an [icon](../../production/publishing/experience-icons.md) will be shown to students. While optional, adding these can boost the look of your template and serve as an additional opportunity for branding.
|
||||
</Alert>
|
||||
|
||||
2. Click on the **Permissions** tab, set **Playability** to **Public**.
|
||||
3. In the **Places** tab, click on the **⋯** icon and select **Configure Place**.
|
||||
|
||||
<img src="../../assets/education/legacy/devStarted-editPlace.png" />
|
||||
|
||||
4. Scroll down to find **Allow Copying** and toggle it **On**. Once this property is on, it's possible for any Roblox user to access your template. For alternatives, see the card under the image.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
<Alert severity="info">
|
||||
<AlertTitle>Sharing Only in Your Organization</AlertTitle>
|
||||
There are situations in which you'd want to share a template, but only with a certain set of students. In this situation, we recommend sharing local files.
|
||||
</Alert>
|
||||
|
||||
5. Once your template is ready, in Studio, go to **File** ⟩ **Download a Copy**. This creates a shareable `.rbxl` file.
|
||||
6. Distribute the `.rbxl` file as desired.
|
||||
|
||||
## Share templates with students
|
||||
|
||||
Templates can now be shared by having students go to the template's web page. There, students can click a link that opens a copy of that template in Roblox Studio.
|
||||
|
||||
1. To share the template, send the **URL** to the template's game page through a learning management system (such as Google Classroom) or student email. When sending the URL, we recommend removing the place name. It's possible a place name may change, but an ID number won't.
|
||||
|
||||
<Alert severity="info">
|
||||
<AlertTitle>Sharing Only in Your Organization</AlertTitle>
|
||||
|
||||
When sending the URL, we recommend removing the place name. It's possible a
|
||||
place name may change, but an ID number won't.

|
||||
|
||||
</Alert>
|
||||
|
||||
2. Once the student opens the link, instruct them to click on the **...** icon and select **Edit**. If Roblox Studio is installed, it will automatically open the template in that software.
