-Tbc.
+uibuilder has a feature that lets you quickly create a web app based on a template configuration.
 
-Some additional information on templates can be found in the [Configuring uibuilder](uib-configuration?id=ltuibrootgtltinstance-urlgt) page
+## Creating
+
+You can create a flow with a uibuilder node, set the URL and deploy (which creates the folder structure), change your front-end code including any build-step, local libraries, API's, etc. Add a README file and make any changes you need to package.json.
+
+## Using
+
+You can then put that whole folder structure into a GitHub repository which can then be referenced when you want to create a new copy of the app. Simply create a new flow with a uibuilder node, set the URL, deploy. Then change the template to the githubname/reponame and the whole thing will overwrite the current folder.
+
+## Template Structure
+
+TBC. Currently, please see the example external template at [TotallyInformation/uib-template-svelte-simple](https://github.com/TotallyInformation/uib-template-svelte-simple) or [TotallyInformation/uib-template-test](https://github.com/TotallyInformation/uib-template-test).
+
+## Additional information
+
+* Some additional information on templates can be found in the [Configuring uibuilder](uib-configuration?id=ltuibrootgtltinstance-urlgt) page.
+* There is a catalogue of external templates at https://github.com/TotallyInformation/node-red-contrib-uibuilder/wiki/External-Templates-Catalogue - please feel free to add your own templates there or let me know and I can add them for you.
