File templates let you save existing documents or slide decks and reuse them as the starting point for new AI-generated files. When you start a new document or presentation in chat, you can pick a template. Langdock will generate the new file matching its format and style.

Supported formats

Templates can be uploaded in the following formats:
File typeExtensions
Presentations.pptx, .ppt, .potx
Documents.docx, .dotx
PDFs.pdf
Maximum file size: 100 MB

Browsing and using templates

From the Library, click All templates in the Create New section to open the template gallery. You can also access templates directly when starting a new file in chat. Each mode (Document, Slides) shows a Use a Template section. The template gallery showing a grid of templates with filter and sort options

Template sharing follows the same permission model as Skills. There are two permissions in workspace roles that control what users can do:
  • Share with users and groups: Enabled for everyone by default. Any user can share a template with specific people or groups.
  • Promote to workspace: Admin-only by default. Only admins can make a template available to the entire workspace.
You can adjust these defaults in User Management → Roles.

Admin: enabling templates

Templates are built on top of Skills and require Skills to be enabled in your workspace. When Skills are disabled, templates will not appear in the Library or in chat. By default, any user can share a template with specific users or groups, but only admins can promote a template to the entire workspace. You can adjust both defaults under User Management → Roles.
Go to Settings → Workspace to manage Skills availability for your workspace.
