# What is a template?

Template is the baseline starting document for any contracting. Dealsign contracting process starts always from a template.

Contract document templates are reused and sent out for negotiations and/or signature multiple times. When preparing a draft document for negotiation and/or signature, users can choose to save as a template. Creating a contract template saves the prepared fields to the document making future sends quick and easy. 

Sending out a template for negotiation and signing is fast because the contract is already prepared on the document, ensuring contracting quality and eliminating the need to start from scratch each time.
