# Customize the Entity details component for templates

After [configuring the Creation component](https://doc.sitecore.com/ch/en/users/content-hub/configure-the-creation-component-for-templates.html "Configure the Creation component for templates"), you can optionally customize the **Entity Details** component to make the **Is template** field (**M.Entity.IsTemplate** taxonomy) visible and editable on the related entity details pages. This allows users to choose which entities they want to use as templates to create new ones.

In the following example of a content collection details page, you can see that the **Is template** field is visible and editable. Any user can enable this particular content collection to be used as a template.
