# Entity templates

The fastest way to create an entity that is similar to an existing one of the same type is to use the existing entity as a template. After creating an entity based on a template, you can make changes to the new entity to differentiate it from the original.

This feature is available by default for [campaigns](https://doc.sitecore.com/ch/en/users/content-hub/create-a-campaign.html "Create a campaign"), [projects](https://doc.sitecore.com/ch/en/users/content-hub/create-a-project-from-a-template.html "Create a project from a template"), and [jobs](https://doc.sitecore.com/ch/en/users/content-hub/create-a-job.html "Create a job"). However, you can configure it for other entity types.

To configure the template functionality for other entity types, you must:

1. [Enable the Creation from templates option](https://doc.sitecore.com/ch/en/users/content-hub/enable-the-creation-from-templates-option.html "Enable the Creation from templates option") for the required entity type.
2. [Configure the Creation component for templates](https://doc.sitecore.com/ch/en/users/content-hub/configure-the-creation-component-for-templates.html "Configure the Creation component for templates") on the desired page.

Then, you can optionally:

- [Customize the Details component for templates](https://doc.sitecore.com/ch/en/users/content-hub/customize-the-entity-details-component-for-templates.html "Customize the Entity details component for templates")
- [Customize template search](https://doc.sitecore.com/ch/en/users/content-hub/customize-template-search.html "Customize template search")
