## Things to know

- When a document template is saved and published, you can rename the template but you cannot change the template type.
- The *Template Type* you select when creating the document template determines what components are available for placement in your document template. For example, a template type of Invoice displays invoice-related components, such as invoice totals, billing address, and invoice payments.
- Certain template types require specific components to be included in the template design. A warning message displays if your template does not include the required component.
- You can edit certain component labels to display the text of your choice. For example, in the *Document Name*component, you can modify the *Invoice* and *Invoice Date*labels.
