Templates
Customize your journaling structure
Templates are the structural layout and containers for your Grids. While grids serve as the atomic unit of writing, templates group multiple grids together to give your diary layout and structure.
As outlined in Grid Diary's Design Philosophy, templates act as the structural bridge that maps your customized grids into different time Dimensions (Daily, Weekly, Monthly, Yearly) inside your Journals.
