# Templates Overview

> Understanding the different Helper templates and when to use each

## What are Templates?

Templates define the core structure and behavior of a Helper. When Peanuts creates a Helper, it chooses the best template based on your description.

## Available Templates

## Choosing a Template

Peanuts automatically selects the best template, but you can change it:

1. Open Helper → Settings
2. Tap **Change Template**
3. Select new template
4. Fields will be remapped where possible

<Warning>
  Changing templates may cause some data to be hidden (not deleted). Fields that don't map to the new template won't display until you switch back.
</Warning>
