2424

25-
To create a new template, start by right-clicking on the folder. This will open a context menu where you can select the ‘New+’ option. From there, choose ‘Open templates’ to access the “Templates” folder. In this folder, you have the freedom to add, edit, or rename objects as per your needs. It’s important to note that the objects you add here will be displayed on the ‘New+’ menu in a sorted order, with folders always appearing first. This provides the ability to find and select your templates.

#### Templates location
3234

33-
After the enablement toggle, the New+ Templates location setting is likely the most interesting one. By default, the template location is in your local app data folder, specifically at %localappdata%\Microsoft\PowerToys\NewPlus\Templates. However, these templates will not roam with you across devices. If you want a common set of templates across devices, a popular option is to change the template location to a folder that is synced with a cloud drive, such as OneDrive. This way, you can access your templates from any device.
