# Standard Templates & Sections

> Using Corti's default out of the box templates

## Overview

Corti provides a library of standard, out of the box templates for use in note generation workflows. Standard templates are comprised of standardized note sections that are also available for use. The default template library is always growing.

<Tip>Is the standard template not meeting your needs? You can leverage Corti standard sections to assemble your own template and customize the output of each section further. [Read our guide here](/textgen/documents-customize).</Tip>
