Import a Story template and use it to create a Story

Team members within your organization can easily create brand-specific templates using our Stories feature, download them, and then distribute them to colleagues for use as the basis of other Story projects. When a team member saves a video template, they can distribute the .screenpal file via email, or via a cloud storage app, such as Google Drive.

For information about how to create and export a story as a template, see the article titled Collaborate with colleagues by sharing a Story template.
