  # Inserting a template into an existing note
  Given an existing template in your notebook (eg. a "daily startup" template you might want to insert into your jot every day, you can simply use:
  ```
  @=
  ```
  an "at" sign followed by an "equal" sign to start searching for the name of your template.
  
  
  @= and [[= are equivalent
  
  
  @= is just one of many ways to use note linking capabilities in Amplenote. Check out: [Note linking guide (at @ and double-bracket [[ notation)#Inserting a section of another note](/help/double-bracket-note-link-syntax#Inserting_a_section_of_another_note) . 
   
  # Creating a new note from a template
  As an alternative, you can also create a note from a certain template note. Given an existing note that serves as your template:
  Preface the template note title with Template:
  [Lock the template note](https://images.amplenote.com/c63ceccc-a77c-11eb-a9f9-a6eb822d2f8a/251ca128-1b9d-49bc-9ffe-b48e25bc088b.mp4)  
  Now, when you type the name of the template in Quick Open (which you can access with Ctrl-O or Cmd-O), you will see an option to create a new note based on your template:

  Clicking on that second option will open a new note where you can change the title to include today's date.
  
  💡**Optional suggestion**: Apply a tag like templates to all of your templates, to keep them nicely organized and easy to find.
