# How to create a new Template

 Shopify software allows creating templates for:

* product pages;
* collection pages;
* blogs pages;
* article pages;
* webpages.

 To create a custom template, you can follow the listed steps:

#### Step 1:

 Start by creating a template in the theme editor. Press the top drop-down menu and choose a page for which a new template will be created, e.g. Collections:

&#x20;Now, we need to go to Shopify Admin and assign a template to a page.

&#x20;Depending on the page for which you created the template, choose a template in the **“Theme template”** drop-down:

* **Products** - *Shopify Admin -> Products*, choose a product:
