# What is a Template File?

Template file is a ***ZIP*** file (.zip) with a specific structure, contatining one, several, or all of descriptions, keywords, what's news, screenshots and previews for a single or multiple languages.

## Structure of a Template File

At the root of the template file you have ***"description", "keyword", "whatsNew", "screenshot"*** and ***"preview"*** folders.

### Description, Keyword and WhatsNew Folders

In these folders there are ***TXT*** files (.txt), named using language codes. In each ***TXT*** file a text is written in same language as the language code.

You have your English (U.S) description text, inside description folder, in ***en-US.txt.***

### Screenshot and Preview Folders

In these folders there are addional folders, named using language codes. In each language folder there are additional folders, named using device size codes.&#x20;

**en-US** / **APP\_IPHONE\_65** -> English (U.S) iPhone 6.5'' screenshots

**en-US** / **IPHONE\_65** -> English (U.S) iPhone 6.5'' previews

There are screenshots and previews in their respective device size folders for each language.

To use a template file, **you don’t need to memorize or keep a copy of it forever.**

*For use cases that require a template file, StoreSyncer provides one for you to download. All you need to do is fill the template file with your texts and media elements, and that’s it.*
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
Your template file is not always required to contain metadata on every field (description, keyword, what’s new, screenshots and previews) or for every language.&#x20;

Depending on your use case, you can create a template file that contains only the “description” folder with just two language TXT files, for example.&#x20;

Or, you can create a template file that includes both the “screenshot” and “keyword” folders, each with different language files.
