## Overview

Templates inside an event can be **toggled on or off** without being deleted. This lets you hide a template from guests during an event and re-enable it later — preserving all your configuration, design, and prompt settings.

## Why use this instead of deleting?

Deleting a template is permanent. If a client changes their mind at the last minute, a deleted template is gone. Toggling keeps it safe so you can flip it back on instantly.

Common scenarios:

* Client is undecided between template versions — hide the ones under review without losing them

* Seasonal or time-of-night templates — turn on a specific look at a set point during the event

* Backup templates — keep a simpler fallback ready in case a complex template causes issues

## How to toggle a template

1. Open your event and go to the **Templates** section.

2. Find the template you want to hide or show.

3. Use the **toggle switch** on the template card to turn it on or off.

Toggled-off templates are not visible to guests at the booth or in the virtual booth. They remain fully editable by the operator and can be re-enabled at any time.

-At runtime, guests will only see the templates marked **On**—in this example, **“2”** and **“ai.”** The templates marked **Off** will remain hidden but can be re-enabled at any time.

## Frequently asked questions

**Does toggling off a template affect any event data already captured with it?**\
No. Past captures and outputs are not affected. Toggling only controls whether the template is available for new captures going forward.

**Can I edit a template while it is toggled off?**\
Yes. Toggled-off templates remain fully editable and can be re-enabled whenever they are ready.

**Is there a limit to how many templates I can have toggled off at once?**\
No. You can have any number of templates toggled off simultaneously.
