2. Click the **Create** button in the top right corner.![](https://cdn.document360.io/c6df4583-da94-4cb2-bb8a-be0cbdd11109/Images/Documentation/image-E0QNK5MX.png)

> [!NOTE]
> The name of your campaign can be up to 255 characters.

1. You land on the Default Templates page, where you can view all the templates in the first step in an organized way. Here, you can:

- Select the platform on which you will create your campaign.

- View templates based on your objectives.
- See whether the template is on-page or inline.

After you select your template, you will see it on your website in the Action Builder's Preview tab.

On the top banner of this page, you can see **Size**, **Position**, and **Navigate Mode** options, as well as platform icons if your template is for cross-platform; you can switch between them to see how your campaign looks on each platform.

- **Navigate Mode** helps you navigate through your web pages to place your campaign.
- **Size** menu helps you to set the width and height of the template.
- **Position** menu helps you place your on-page campaign anywhere on the website. You can select any other place via the default placement options or give margins.

> [!WARNING]
> For the Action Builder, you should whitelist "*useinsider.com" or services mentioned below within your Content Security Policy:
> 
> - skeleton-design-bundle.useinsider.com
> 
> - skeleton-template-generator.api.useinsider.com
> 
> - wss://skeleton-websocket.api.useinsider.com/v1
> 
> or, you should install the [Insider Chrome Extension](https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/insider-tools-extension/fnecdmjccbhicpabhgalobcbnoieedon) for your Chrome browser. Otherwise, you might be unable to load your website or design your templates smoothly.

Two types of templates are available:

- **Inline template**: You can place your template anywhere on the page and select an element to [append](https://academy.useinsider.com/docs/append-an-inline-template).
- **On-page template**: By default, elements are positioned within the page layout. You can adjust their position using the **Position** button.

## Design tab

After positioning your template, you can customize it in the Design tab.

- If your template is for cross-platform, you can use the **Sync All Platforms** option. When Sync All Platforms is enabled, all changes you make will instantly apply to Mobile, Tablet, and Desktop. Therefore, you can select the platform to which all platforms will be synchronized. Switching between platform icons right next to the Sync All Platforms toggle, you can see how your template looks on each. Only the layout selections won’t apply to all platforms, even when sync is on, as a rule. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/c6df4583-da94-4cb2-bb8a-be0cbdd11109/Images/Documentation/image-OSAL0EUA.png)

You can turn off the sync toggle if you want to make separate changes on different platforms.

- **Advanced Settings** on the top bar let you add custom CSS to change the site or run custom JavaScript on the website.![](https://cdn.document360.io/c6df4583-da94-4cb2-bb8a-be0cbdd11109/Images/Documentation/image-E7CFFMEZ.png)
