  8. <p>A <em>template</em> is a Logisim file that is used as a starting
  9. point whenever Logisim creates a new project. Also, if you have an
  10. existing Logisim file with a strangely configured environment, you
  11. can "reset" the environment using the Revert All To Template
  12. button in the window for editing Project Options.</p>
  13. <p>Although templates are useful in other situations also, they are
  14. particularly suited for classroom use, where an instructor might
  15. want to distribute a template for students to start from. This is
  16. particularly likely if the class uses Logisim heavily, including
  17. many of the more advanced features, in which case the simple default
  18. configuration may prove too simple. Templates can also be useful in
  19. the classroom setting when the instructor opens a file submitted by
  20. a student who has configured the environment significantly.</p>
  21. <p>By default, the "Plain template" option will be selected,
  22. using the default template shipped with Logisim. If you want a
  23. bare-bones configuration, you might choose "Empty template."
  24. But if you want to designate another file to use as the template,
  25. select a template via the Select... button, and then choose the
  26. "Custom template" option.</p>
