How do I save a bunch of stacks together so that I can use them as a template? For instance, I have a frequently posted system of ‘Text’, below that ‘Image’, below that ‘Play Embed video.’ And I’d like to be able to just click a ‘template’ button, have them all drop in there and then I change the necessary info (text input, embed link, etc.). ---

You are able to put them all in a standard 1 column stack (which is just a surrounding div) and use then the partials function of the Stacks plugin to save this combination of stacks for a later usage. ---

Hi Andy, as far as I know this is only possible in Foundry, using the Group Stack. You can turn a Group into a Template and use/change/adapt this group over and over in order to keep a predefined layout with different content. I did not find a Group Stack outside Foundry Hans ---

You don’t need Foundry therefore. The stacks plugin itself has a 1 column stacks. That’s exactly the same as other so called grouping stacks. You don’t have to over complicate things. The stacks plugin itself is already very powerful. ---

The 1Column Stack does the job perfectly, I used it very often as a container. Foundrys Group Stack has some nice features I love, but technically it’s not neccessary. The same for Joe’s Pen stack. ---

As @instacks said: put a 1column stack as a container. For repeating elements, I use the template function of Stacks and not a partial. Just place the template on the page and right click “Unpack Template”. Saves a lot of time for repeating design elements. ![CleanShot 2021-06-19 at 10.44.04](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/realmacsoftware1/original/3X/1/0/10427939de97c2857c59055305fd5847742f0e82.png) ---
