Note
- Apart from the Help Center template, we don’t recommend changing from one Experience Builder template to another. So for example, avoid changing from a Customer Service template to a Partner Central template. Although the functionality is available for these templates, we recommend that you start afresh with a new template instead. If you do change from one template to another and lose your customizations, Salesforce Customer Support is unable to assist you.
Important There’s no data loss when you change templates, but all customizations
are lost. Be sure to review Considerations for Changing Your Template before changing your template.
- Open Experience Workspaces.
- Click Administration | Settings.
- Click Change Template. A message warns you that changing your siteʼs template permanently deletes all existing customizations and pages.
- Choose the template you want to switch to.
- When prompted, select Change Template to confirm your changes.
Check to make sure your site pages, such as the Login page or Home page, are still the best choice for your updated site template. For example, if you previously had a Salesforce Tabs + Visualforce template and switch to the Customer Service template, update your pages to use Experience Builder pages instead of Visualforce pages. If necessary, customize your site in Experience Builder and publish any changes you make.
