# Foam Note Templates
Foam includes note templates! This allows you to create new notes from the given template.
Templates are treated just like snippets allowing you to use [VS Code's Snippet Syntax](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/editor/userdefinedsnippets#_snippet-syntax).
Foam includes note templates!
This allows you to easily create notes that have similar structure without having to use copy/paste :)
Templates support the [VS Code's Snippet Syntax](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/editor/userdefinedsnippets#_snippet-syntax), which means you can:
- add variables to the newly created note
- add tabstop to automatically navigate to the key parts of the note, just like a form
Below you can see an example showing a todo list and a timestamp.

Try out the above example by running the `Foam: Create New Note From Template` command and selecting the `your-first-template` template. Notice what happens when your new note is created!
To remove this template, simply delete the `.foam/templates/your-first-template.md` file.
Enjoy!
