| # Workflow templates | |
| When creating a new workflow, you can choose whether to start with an empty workflow, or use an existing [template](/glossary.md#template-n8n). | |
| Templates provide: | |
| * Help getting started: n8n might already have a template that does what you need. | |
| * Examples of what you can build | |
| * Best practices for creating your own workflows | |
| ## Access templates | |
| Select <span class="inline-image">{.off-glb}</span> **Templates** to view the templates library. | |
| If you use n8n's template library, this takes you to browse [Workflows on the n8n website](https://n8n.io/workflows/){:target=_blank .external-link}. If you use a custom library provided by your organization, you'll be able to search and browse the templates within the app. | |
