StoreConnect already comes with standard templates added to the picklist where you can also add new ones when using the theme builder.\n\n![content template picklist on StoreConnect app](https://res.cloudinary.com/hzkr6fi81/image/upload/v1781677719/documentation-media/content-template-picklist.png)\n\nFor the purposes of this tutorial, we will assume you have already created a custom event card template.\n\n## Instructions\n\n1.  Go to setup\n2.  Click on the “Object Manager” tab\n\n    ![Object Manager Tab](https://res.cloudinary.com/hzkr6fi81/image/upload/v1781677720/documentation-media/object-manager-tab.gif)\n3.  Now find the “Content Block” object\n4.  On the left sidebar, click on Fields \u0026 Relationships\n5.  Click on “Content Template” on the right panel\n6.  Now scroll down to the Values section and click on new\n7.  Add a name to the new value of the picklist. Use the name of `Event Card` for this tutorial\n8.  Once saved, scroll down again to the Value section, find your new template item and click on edit.\n9.  Check that the API name matches the template key. Use `event_card` value for the API name and don’t include the `blocks/` prefix.\n10.  **Optional step:** you can scroll down again to the values section and click on “Reorder” and choose the position of your new template within the picklist.\n\nYou can add as many content templates as you want but keep in mind you will need to use a unique value for each content template. For example you can create a new template and use the value using `custom_container` or anything appropiate to what you are building.\n\nContent block templates are created the same way as page templates. The only difference is that the key must start with blocks/ and must correspond to one of the Content Block template entries in the `Content_Block__c.Template__c` picklist."}
