# Identify the template that an item is based on

You need to know which template an item is based on, for example, when you want to set up a template as bucketable.

## Identify the template that an item is based on

In the Content Editor, in the **Quick Info** section, you can quickly identify the template that an item is based on.

To identify the template that an item is based on:

1. In the content tree, click the relevant item.
2. In the content area, on the **Content** tab, expand the **Quick Info** section at the top. The **Template** field tells you which template the item is based on.

3. To open the template item, click the template link.

## Enable the Quick Info section

If the **Quick Info** section is not visible, you can enable the section from the [Application Options](https://doc.sitecore.com/xp/en/users/92/sitecore-experience-platform/the-application-options.html "The Application Options").
