# Defining the Author and Copyright of a Template

When you create a template, Toon Boom Studio automatically assigns a default name and copyright owner.

You can view a template’s author name and copyright notice in the template’s Properties dialog box.

To define the template author and copyright owner:

1. Open the Preferences dialog box. Select Toon Boom Studio > Preferences.

The Preferences dialog box opens.

2. Select the General tab.

3. Type the name of the person who will be creating the templates from now on in the User Name field.

4. Type any copyright information in the Copyright field.

5. Click OK when done. Any template you create from now on will use the author and copyright information you just entered in the General tab.
