Template Edit Menu (): The template edit menu is accessed by hovering over a template. Looking at the menu from left to right you have the ability to copy the template, preview the template in a job post, edit the template, delete the template, or turn the template off.

From here hover over any “Selected” button and see that it turns into a deselect option. You can also choose to “Deselect All” templates and then add those you want back in.

Step 5: Designate templates to only go out with specific jobs.
