# Using templates in Journeys, Newsletter & the Website

## Where templates show up

### CRM Journeys (linked)

In a journey email step, the **Email content** selector lets you link a block template instead of typing HTML. The email is rendered (blocks + Brand Kit) *at send time*, so editing the template updates every live journey. Personalization tokens like `{{first_name}}` still work inside block text.
### Newsletter (start from)

In the edition composer, **Start from Block Template** renders a template to branded email HTML and drops it into the editor as a copy you can edit freely.
### Website section library

In the page builder, **Save page as section** stores the current blocks as a reusable section. The **Sections** panel lists your saved sections — click to drop one into any page.
### In-product messages

Product Tours banners, tooltips, and checklists automatically inherit your Brand Kit colors and fonts, so in-app messaging looks on-brand too.
