Templates create a new project from a prebuilt Mana project. A template can include writing segments, scratches, Atlas entries, labels, enabled project features, and other project settings. Use a template when you want a useful starting structure instead of a blank project.

​
Start from a template

1

Open New Project

From the project list, choose New Project.
2

Choose a template

Select a template from the left side of the dialog. Only templates that are currently available are shown.
3

Name the project

Enter a project name and choose the writing language.
4

Create the project

Mana creates a copy of the template under your account. The source template is not changed.

​
What gets copied

Templates can copy the project content tree, scratches, Atlas entries, labels, extension settings, editor configuration, and writing language. Some personal or generated data is not copied:
  • Character chat conversations
  • Discord bot connections
  • AI usage history
  • Generated AI context
Very large templates may briefly show empty copied documents while Mana finishes copying their editor content in the background.

​
Current template types

Available templates can change over time. Mana currently supports template families for fiction, non-fiction, and game story projects when those templates are enabled by the team.
