How to Use GoHighLevel Element Templates in the Page Builder

If you build a lot of funnels and pages, you may be familiar with tools like ClickUp for managing tasks. Inside GoHighLevel, you can boost your production speed directly in the page builder by saving element templates and reusing them across your pages. This guide walks you step by step through saving, inserting, updating, and deleting element templates so you can streamline your design workflow.

All instructions below are based on the native GoHighLevel page builder interface and options available in the element settings panel.

What Are GoHighLevel Element Templates?

Element templates in GoHighLevel are reusable design blocks that you can save from existing page elements or columns. Once saved, these templates can be inserted into other pages, funnels, or sections without recreating layouts from scratch.

You can turn the following into templates:

  • Individual elements (for example, buttons, headings, forms, images)
  • Columns that contain one or more elements
  • Repeated design patterns like hero sections, call-to-action blocks, or testimonial layouts

Using templates keeps your branding consistent and significantly reduces repetitive work inside the GoHighLevel page builder.

How to Save GoHighLevel Element Templates

You can save element templates in two ways: from the element settings panel and from the column settings panel. Both methods store your design in the same template library.

Save a Single Element as a GoHighLevel Template

  1. Open the page in the GoHighLevel page builder.

  2. Click on the element you want to save (for example, a button, headline, or image).

  3. In the element settings panel, locate the template controls.

  4. Click Save element or the equivalent save template option.

  5. Give your template a clear, descriptive name so you can recognize it later.

  6. Confirm to save the element template.

Your selected element is now available as a reusable template anywhere you access the page builder in GoHighLevel.

Save a Column as a GoHighLevel Template

When you save a column, every element inside that column is stored as part of the same template. This is ideal for complex layouts.

  1. In the GoHighLevel page builder, hover over the column you want to save.

  2. Click the column settings icon to open the settings panel.

  3. Find the template or save options in the column panel.

  4. Click Save column as a template.

  5. Name the column template so you can easily identify its use (for example, “CTA Column” or “3-Item Feature Column”).

  6. Save the column template.

This column and all its nested elements can now be dropped into future pages in GoHighLevel with just a few clicks.

How to Insert Saved GoHighLevel Element Templates

After you have saved templates, you can quickly insert them into any compatible section of your pages or funnels.

Insert a Saved Element Template in GoHighLevel

  1. Open the page where you want to reuse the saved element.

  2. Click to add a new element in the desired section or column.

  3. Look for the Templates or My Templates tab within the element area.

  4. Browse your list of saved element templates by name and preview if available.

  5. Select the template you want to use.

  6. The page builder will insert the chosen template into your layout.

You can then customize text, images, or links inside that element without changing the original template stored in your GoHighLevel account.

Insert a Saved Column Template in GoHighLevel

  1. Open the page in the page builder.

  2. Add a new row or select an existing row where you want the column template to appear.

  3. Click to add a column or access the column template area.

  4. Switch to the Column Templates or equivalent templates section.

  5. Choose the saved column template from your library.

  6. The complete column layout and its elements will be added to your page.

This method is especially useful for replicating full sections such as pricing grids, testimonial blocks, or multi-step instructions inside GoHighLevel funnels and websites.

How to Update Existing GoHighLevel Templates

If you need to refine your design, you can update a saved template so that new insertions reflect your latest changes.

  1. Open a page that already contains the template instance you want to modify.

  2. Edit the element or column directly in the GoHighLevel page builder (change colors, fonts, spacing, or content as needed).

  3. Once the design looks correct, open the settings panel for that element or column.

  4. Click the option to Update template or Save changes to template (wording may vary).

  5. Confirm that you want to overwrite the existing template with your new version.

Future insertions of this template will now use the updated design. Existing instances on other pages will typically remain unchanged unless you manually replace them, giving you control over where updates apply in GoHighLevel.

How to Delete GoHighLevel Element Templates

When your template library grows, removing outdated templates keeps things organized and easier to navigate.

  1. Open any page in the GoHighLevel page builder.

  2. Go to the Templates or My Templates area for elements or columns.

  3. Locate the template you want to remove using its name or thumbnail preview.

  4. Click the delete (trash) icon or the Delete option associated with that template.

  5. Confirm the deletion when prompted.

Deleting a template only removes it from the template library. It does not automatically remove any existing instances already placed on pages in your GoHighLevel account.

Best Practices for Managing GoHighLevel Templates

To keep your design system clean and efficient, follow these practices while working with templates in the GoHighLevel builder.

  • Use consistent naming: Include the purpose and type, such as “Hero – Webinar Registration” or “Footer – Minimal”.
  • Group by function: Create separate templates for headers, footers, CTAs, FAQs, testimonials, and pricing sections.
  • Test before saving: Ensure spacing, mobile responsiveness, and link targets are correct before turning layouts into templates.
  • Clean up regularly: Periodically delete duplicates or outdated designs to keep your GoHighLevel template list manageable.
  • Document standards: If you work in a team, document which templates to use for specific funnel types or industries.
