There is one **Default template** for every product page. This means that **changes made to a default template will apply to all products that use that template**.

To change the content or style of a specific product, you will need to **create a new template** and then **assign the template** to that product in the Shopify admin.

### **1. How to create a new product template:**

* In the theme editor, use the page selector to open **Products > Create template**.

* Add **Name** in the provided field for the new template. (e.g. Bottoms)

For 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**.

### **2. How to assign the product template**

After creating a product template, return to the **Shopify admin** and assign the newly created template to the product:

* From your **Shopify admin**, go to **Products**.
* Locate the product that you want to change the template.

* Use the **Theme template** to select the created product template to apply to the selected product.

* Click **Save**.

> ***Note:** Product templates cannot be assigned on **unpublished** or **trial** themes.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.*
