How to turn a post into a template

You come across a post whose structure you admire — yours or someone else's. Two clicks and it becomes a template you can reuse with any subject.

This is the fastest way to build a library that actually fits how you write.

Save a post as a template

From the post's menu, click Sauvegarder en template. This works on:

• A post from your inspirations — a creator you follow, a post that landed well.

• A post you found through metrics or engagement — the ones you already track.

• One of your own published posts — especially a post that overperformed. If it worked once, it can work again.

• A post open in the editor.

A small dialog opens. The title is pre-filled with the first few words of the post — rename it to something you will recognise in three weeks. "Retour d'expérience client" beats "Il y a 3 ans, j'ai fait une erreur".

Click Sauvegarder. It lands in Mes templates, ready to use from the generator.

The step that makes it reusable

Here is what MagicPost does *not* do: it does not rewrite the post for you. The text is saved exactly as it was. No AI reads it, no placeholders are guessed.

That means a freshly saved template is still a specific post about a specific thing. Left as-is, MagicPost will follow it — including the details that were only true of the original.

So take thirty seconds and open it: replace the specifics with `[brackets]`.

Before:

> In 2019, I lost my biggest client.

>

> They left for a competitor charging half our price.

>

> Here is what that taught me about pricing.

After:

> In [year], I lost [what you lost].

>

> [What caused it, in one line].

>

> Here is what that taught me about [topic].

Everything in brackets shows up as a purple pill and tells the AI: *this part changes every time*. That is the whole difference between a template and a copy of an old post.

When the post is someone else's

MagicPost keeps the original author's name and avatar on the template, so you always know where a structure came from. Hovering the template shows you *"Template issu d'un post de [name]"*.

You are borrowing a structure, not content. The generated post is written from your subject, in your voice, with your style settings. Reusing the shape of a good post is standard practice; copying its substance is not.

Duplicating instead

If you want to adapt a template from the MagicPost library or from your team rather than a post, use Dupliquer from its menu. You get an editable copy in Mes templates, and MagicPost offers to open it straight away.

FAQ

Does MagicPost automatically detect what should be a placeholder?

No. You add the brackets yourself. It takes half a minute and it is the difference between a reusable template and a stale copy.

Can I save a post as a template and use it right away?

Yes, but the result will hug the original closely. Add your brackets first.

Does the original author see that I saved their post?

No.

What if I do not use brackets at all?

It still works — MagicPost follows the structure and rewrites around your subject. But specifics from the original post may bleed into the result, especially at Très proche similarity.
