Using Custom Snapshot Templates

< 1 min read

Snapshots can use your own Google Doc for layout and branding. The system copies your template, then inserts the snapshot content into that copy.

To Enable a Template #

  1. Create a Google Doc with the styles or structure you want.
  2. Copy the document ID from its URL.
  3. Paste it into:
    Config → SnapshotTemplateDocId

If this field is empty, snapshots use a clean default layout.

What the Template Controls #

Your Doc defines:

  • Heading styles
  • Paragraph styles
  • Table formatting
  • Colors and branding
  • Intro sections or cover pages
  • Footers and static content

These elements carry through in the final snapshot.

What the System Still Inserts #

The system adds the structured snapshot content into the body of the copied template:

  • Summary section
  • Items table
  • Revision table
  • Optional charts (if enabled)
  • Timestamp and period details

Your template’s formatting wraps around the auto-generated content, but the system controls where snapshot data is inserted.
