Blueprints are reusable layout templates used with [Visual Builder](docId\:poWrdQQWhlJ7bQg3Sxoal) to create content directly in the UI. Save sections and experiences as blueprints: a campaign landing page, a contest entry form, a masthead or hero image, or column and grid content.

For an interactive walkthrough, see the [blueprints demonstration](https://optimizely.navattic.com/cms-blueprints).

Go to **Settings** > **Blueprints** to find, rename, or delete blueprints. To create blueprints, use Visual Builder.

## Find blueprints

The **Search** field filters blueprints by name. Use it to locate the blueprint that needs renaming, deletion, or review.

Enter part of a blueprint name in **Search** to filter the list.

## Filter blueprints

The **Blueprint Type** filter narrows the list to experience or section blueprints, making it easier to scan large libraries by purpose. Apply a filter to review only the layout templates that match a specific authoring scenario.

Select **Blueprint Type** (**All Types**, **Experience**, or **Section**) to filter blueprints.

## Rename a blueprint

Renaming a blueprint keeps its label aligned with current naming conventions, so editors recognize the right template at a glance. Update names whenever a campaign rebrands or a layout's purpose changes.

1. Select **More** (...) > **Rename** on the blueprint card. The **Rename Blueprint** window displays.
2. Enter a name.
3. Click **Save**.

## Delete a blueprint

Deleting a blueprint removes outdated or unused templates from the library, so editors only see relevant choices when creating content.

1. Select **More** (...) > **Delete** on the blueprint card. The **Delete Blueprint** window displays.
2. Click **Delete** to confirm.

Deleting a blueprint removes it from the library but does not delete content already created from it. Editors cannot use the blueprint to create content after deletion.
