    1. Under Sites, click add_circle_outline.
    2. From the Sites list, select the sites with which you want to associate this content template.
    3. From the Set as default list, select one of the following:
      • Yes—The content template is the default for associated content types for the selected sites.
      • No—The content template is an extra for the selected sites.

      For the difference between default and extra content templates, see Types of content templates.

    If you do not select any sites, the content template is not available until you associate it with a role or user. For details, see Creating a role-level content template and Creating a user-level content template.
