Templates — stop rewriting the same note structure

Writing meeting minutes from scratch every week is wasted effort. Templates spin up the same structure in 3 seconds.

What is a template?

A scaffold for notes whose shape repeats — meeting minutes, weekly reports, 1-on-1 notes, project briefs. Creating from a template starts you off with the scaffold pre-filled.

Built-in templates

Memol ships with these by default:

• Meeting minutes — Date, attendees, agenda, decisions, actions
• Weekly report — Did this week, will do next week, observations, concerns
• 1-on-1 notes — Topics, discussion, next-meeting actions
• Project brief — Background, goals, audience, plan, KPIs
• Daily note — Today's to-dos, observations, handoff for tomorrow
• Incident response — Time, symptoms, cause, action taken, prevention

If you picked an industry when creating the workspace, more domain-specific templates appear automatically.

Create a note from template

1. In the note list, click the dropdown next to + New note
2. Select From template
3. Pick a template

Note opens with the scaffold pre-filled.

Custom templates (PRO+)

To reuse your team's own format:

1. Build a representative note with the structure you want (include placeholder text)
2. Note menu (⋯) → Save as template
3. Name and describe it
4. Done

Appears in "From template" for everyone in the workspace.

A solid template structure

# Topic / Date

## Summary (3 lines)
- 
- 
- 

## Details

## Decisions

## To-do
- [ ] 

## Next actions

The 3-line summary at the top is a force multiplier when you re-read the note months later.

Editing templates

To customize a built-in template, duplicate it as a custom template first, then edit. Custom templates are managed at Settings → Templates.

Why this matters for teams

Templates make formats consistent across the team. Onboarding new people becomes much easier — "use this template" replaces "let me explain the format".
