## Install and customize a template in the Cloud UI
1. Under **Settings** icon in the navigation bar.
{{< nav-icon "settings" >}}
2. Click **Templates**.
3. (Optional) To browse a wide variety of templates, click **Browse Community Templates**.
4. Enter the URL to the template's YAML or JSON file (in the [InfluxData Community Templates](https://github.com/influxdata/community-templates) repository), and then click **Lookup Template**.
The Template Installer displays the template name and number of resources included in the template (for example, dashboards, Telegraf configurations, variables, labels, and more).
5. Click **Install Template**. A message confirms the template has been successfully installed.
6. Under **Installed Templates**, find the template, and do the following:
- Click **View Readme**. Complete the instructions to finalize your template.
{{% note %}}
To ensure the template works, complete the ReadMe instructions. For example, you maybe need to create a bucket with a specific name in your Cloud instance before the template can be used.)
{{% /note %}}
- (Optional) To customize a template, under **Installed Resources**, expand the template resources, and then click the resource to update. You can update any resource included in the template. Templates resources may include any of the following resources; follow the links to find how to customize each resource:
- Buckets. [Update buckets](/influxdb/v2.0/organizations/buckets/update-bucket/)

- Telegraf configurations. [Update a Telegraf configurations](/influxdb/v2.0/telegraf-configs/update/)
7. (Optional) Add or delete resources from the template, and then use the `influx` CLI to [export resources to a new template (JSON or YAML file)](/influxdb/v2.0/influxdb-templates/create/#export-all-resources).
