Change the template name and exact preview sample while retaining the complete approved layout. Saving this draft does not approve or print a label.

## Edit a complete label template

1. **Load the complete label template**

   Read the current template and its inherited business expectations.

2. **Choose the complete template change**

   Keep all objects, dimensions and barcode settings together.

3. **Name the reviewed template**

   Give the complete template a clear name without altering its approved business decisions.

4. **Keep the exact purchase order sample**

   Enter 00017 as text. Its leading zeroes are part of the intended preview value.

5. **Explain the template change**

   Record why the complete template and exact preview value are being saved.

6. **Prepare the complete change**

   Check the complete values before preparing the private file.

7. **Upload the checked file**

   Upload the complete change. Uploading alone does not save it.

8. **Confirm the complete change**

   Confirm that the whole file contains the values you intend to save.

9. **Save the complete change**

   Wait for the product to confirm the original save. Separate checking and approval are still required.
