Creating and organizing your own templates

The MagicPost library is a starting point. Your own templates are where the real leverage is — they encode the structures that work for you, on your audience.

Create a template from scratch

From the template picker, click Créer un template.

• Titre (required). Name it for what it does, not for what it says. "Retour d'expérience client" is findable in three weeks; "J'ai perdu un client en 2019" is not.

• Type (optional). Instructif, Inspirant, Promotionnel, Introspectif, or one of your own types. It is how you will filter later.

• Labels (optional). The same labels you use on your posts.

• Texte du template (required). The skeleton itself.

A live preview on the right shows the template rendered as a LinkedIn post while you type.

Writing a good template

The whole craft is in the placeholders. Write the parts that change every time between square brackets:

> [Number] things I got wrong about [topic].

>

> I learned them the hard way, over [time period].

>

> 1. [First one] → [what it cost you]

> 2. [Second one] → [what it cost you]

>

> The one I would fix first: [the one that matters most].

Three rules that make the difference:

• Bracket the specifics, keep the structure. The hook, the rhythm, the transitions, the length — that is the value. Names, numbers and dates are what changes.

• Say what goes in the bracket, not just "text". `[what it cost you]` guides the AI. `[texte]` does not.

• Keep the shape of a real post. Line breaks, short paragraphs, a hook that stands alone on the first line. The template teaches MagicPost your format.

Organizing

Once you have more than a handful, the picker gives you what you need.

• Favoris. Star the ones you use. They get their own entry at the top of the rail.

• Labels. The same system as your posts. Tag by theme, by client, by campaign.

• Types personnalisés. Beyond the four defaults, create your own with a name and a colour — "Série du lundi", "Cas client", whatever matches how you actually work.

• Grouper par. Reorganise the left rail on the fly: by type, by label, by source, by creator.

• Trier par. Date added, name, or Utilisations.

The usage counter

Each template shows how many times it has been used. It is the most honest signal in the whole picker: after a month it tells you which templates earn their place and which ones you saved and never touched.

Sort by Utilisations, keep the top few, delete the rest. A library of eight templates you use beats a library of forty you scroll past.

On a template shared with your team, the counter shows the whole team's usage, not just yours.

Duplicating

Dupliquer any template — from the library, from your team, or one of your own — to get an editable copy. MagicPost offers to open it right away. This is how you fork a structure and adapt it without losing the original.

FAQ

How many templates can I have?

No limit.

What is the difference between a type and a label?

A type is what the post *is* (Instructif, Promotionnel…) — one per template. Labels are your own free tags — as many as you like. Use types for the shape, labels for your own filing.

Can I edit a template I saved from a post?

Yes. It is yours once saved. Open its menu and click Modifier.

I deleted a template by mistake.

It cannot be recovered. If it came from one of your posts, save it again.
