# Designing a Document Layout

The layout feature for the document template editor allows you to give a custom and consistent look and feel for specific type of document generated in your automated process.

## Designing the Layout

Your document layout will be designed in standard HTML and CSS. To design your layout:

* Open the document template editor
* Input your content in the HTML area
* On the left of the editor, you should be able to enter and modify CSS for styling your layout
