If you want to explore how Blueprints work before building your own, start with one of the built-in example templates. Each template is a fully working Blueprint that you can run, inspect, and modify. ## How to create a Blueprint from a template ### Step 1: Open the Create Blueprint page When you open an empty project — one with no Blueprints yet — Leapter takes you straight to the **Create a Blueprint** page. If you don't have an empty project, create one from the [Projects page](/fundamentals/projects). ### Step 2: Find the templates Three example templates are available on the Create a Blueprint page. How they appear depends on which way you got there: * **First Blueprint in a project** — the templates are visible inline at the bottom of the page, under an **OR START WITH AN EXAMPLE** divider, alongside the **Start with empty blueprint** button. * **Adding a Blueprint to an existing project** — the templates are hidden behind a **Browse examples** button. Click it to reveal the cards (the button label flips to **Hide examples**). The Create a Blueprint page with three example template cards visible — Hello World, Photo Price Calculator, and Extended Pizza Pricing The available templates are: * **Hello World** — greets the user by name if provided, or falls back to a default "Hello, World!" message using simple conditional logic * **Photo Price Calculator** — implements multi-branch pricing to set the price per photo based on its size, including handling for unsupported dimensions * **Extended Pizza Pricing** — multi-stage logic that calculates the total cost of a pizza order, incorporating conditional pricing for size, premium extras, promotional codes, and weekend surcharges ### Step 3: Select a template Click the card for the template you want to use. Leapter creates a copy of that Blueprint in your project and opens it in the [Blueprint Editor](/fundamentals/leapter-canvas/introduction). The Blueprint is fully yours — any changes you make only affect your copy, not the original template. ## Learning from templates Templates are a great way to understand how Blueprints are built. When you open one, explore these areas: * **Contents sidebar (left side)** — see how the project is structured: Type Definitions, Inputs and Outputs, and the Blueprints * **Inputs and Outputs section** — see how parameters are defined and what types they use * **Embedded diagram** — follow the flow from the Start node through decision branches, assignments, and return nodes * **Maximized [Diagram view](/fundamentals/leapter-canvas/diagram-view)** — double-click a Blueprint in the Contents sidebar to fill the canvas with its diagram To go deeper into how the editor works, see [The Blueprint Editor](/fundamentals/leapter-canvas/introduction). ## What to do next Once you've explored a template: 1. **[Test it](/fundamentals/test-your-blueprint)** — click the green play button to run it with sample inputs and see the outputs. 2. **Modify it** — change a condition, add a new branch, or adjust a calculation to see how the Blueprint responds. Use [inline editing](/fundamentals/change-your-blueprint/inline-editing) or [AI editing](/fundamentals/change-your-blueprint/ai-editing). 3. **Build your own** — when you're ready, go back to your project and [generate a Blueprint with AI](/fundamentals/create-blueprint/ai-prompt) or [start from scratch](/fundamentals/create-blueprint/from-scratch).
