# Setting up an Ad from a Template

## Introduction to Templates

Templates in Responsive Ads provide a quick and efficient way to start creating responsive ads. Each template comes pre-configured with design elements, breakpoints, and resizing behaviours tailored to specific types of ads. 

Once you select a template, it sets the foundation for your ad's structure and functionality.

**Please note**

After choosing a template, you cannot switch to another template for that ad, so it's important to select the right one from the start.
{% endhint %}
