How To Use Bricks Library

To access the Bricks Library, click on the Templates (folder) icon in the builder toolbar, or use the CMD / CTRL + SHIFT + L keyboard shortcut.

You’ll find all your personal templates under the “My Templates” tab. For a range of ready-made templates available for quick insertion, check the “Community Templates” section.

You can set the Remote Template from your Bricks Setting Page. You can add multiple remote templates.

If you have configured a URL for Remote Templates under Bricks → Settings  in your WordPress dashboard, you will also see My Templates option.

Remote Templates  enable you to explore templates from any other Bricks installation you have access to.

Import Images & Replace Content

Located in the upper right corner of the Template Library are two checkboxes designed to look like toggle switches.

•  IMPORT IMAGES  When this option is selected, all template images will be downloaded into your media library. If you leave it unchecked, the template will be inserted without images and a placeholder image will appear in their place.
•  REPLACE CONTENT  If this option is selected, your current content will be removed, and the template will be placed on a blank canvas. If the option is not selected, the template will be added after the last section of your content.

Below the template sources, you will find the following template filters:

•  Template Bundle  Choose a template bundle to display only the templates included in that particular bundle.
•  Template Tag  Choose a template tag to display only the templates that are associated with the selected tag.
•  Template Type  Choose a template category to display only templates that belong to that selected category.
•  Search Templates  Type any keyword to find a particular template.
