## Frequently asked questions (FAQs)
You can use any existing document as a template. Add custom text to the template by using placeholders. Then, in the "Replace Text Placeholders" field, specify what each placeholder should be replaced with in the new document.
Placeholders are special markers in your template that get replaced with custom text when the document is created.\
To add a placeholder, wrap the name in double curly braces. For example: `{{Name}}` or `{{Date}}`.
All instances of the same placeholder will be replaced.
