1. Choose a new schematic sheet document template and replace the old one with it.
In order to achieve this follow the next 6 steps:
1. Open en exiting or create a new Schematic file (.SchDoc) for which you want to change the template. For the details how to Create a new PCB Project and add Schematic and PCB document see our tutorial.

Update Template window will appear where you can:
3.Choose Document Scope. Available options are:

4.Choose Parameter Action
Do not update any parameters
Add new parameters that exist in the template only
Replace all matching parameters

5. After it, you should press OK. If you’ve set it all properly, Information Window will appear. See window image below.
6. Press OK. New template will replace the old one and will also replace or add all matching parameters on a new schematic document.
2. Update a schematic sheet document template
If you’ve already set a schematic sheet document template on your schematic document and made some changes on a template file you just need to update a schematic sheet document template to see template changes on your schematic document. You can achieve it by clicking on Design -> Templates -> Update Current Template and Choose Document Scope window will appear. See image below for the details.
