# Creating page templates
***
There is one **Default page** template for every page. This means that **changes made to a default page template will apply to all pages that use that template**.
To change the content or style of a specific page, you will need to create a new template and then assign that template to that page in the Shopify admin.
### **1. How to create a new page template:**
* In the theme editor, use the page selector to open **Pages > Create template**.
* Add **Name** in the provided field for the new template. (e.g. About Us)
Using the **Based on** drop-down menu, select which existing template you want to base your new template on. The new template will duplicate the settings of the template you selected.
* Click **Save**.

{% endhint %}
### **2. How to assign the page template**
After creating a page template, return to the **Shopify admin** and assign your page to the newly created template to the page.
* From your **Shopify admin**, go to **Online Store** > **Pages**.
* Click the title of the store page.
* In the **Theme template** option, use the drop-down menu to select a new theme template to apply to the selected page.
* Click **Save**.
> ***Note**: Page templates cannot be assigned on **unpublished** or **trial** themes. All changes to your templates will be saved but can only be assigned when published and purchased.*
