[Creating and Editing Doc Templates](https://help.trykiroku.com/docs#creating-and-editing-doc-templates) # Creating a custom Doc template ## You can easily create your own Doc templates to use in Kiroku - here's how Start from the **Docs** tab in your Kiroku sidebar and select '**Build new Doc**'. You can then name your Doc, and select an icon for it. ![Untitled-ezgif.com-video-to-gif-converter (1)](https://help.trykiroku.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Untitled-ezgif.com-video-to-gif-converter%20(1).gif?width=670&height=349&name=Untitled-ezgif.com-video-to-gif-converter%20(1).gif) You'll then be taken to the Docs editor interface.  **In the left-hand panel you'll find the AI Editor.** This can be used to draft your template.  **Select one of the given prompts, or use the text box** to give instructions on what template you'd like to create.  For instance - One of the options is to '**Start from a letter or form I have sent previously**'. With this, as the prompt suggests, you can use any letter you've written to be the basis of your custom Doc template.  ![ScreenRecording2025-09-09at3.46.57pm-ezgif.com-video-to-gif-converter](https://help.trykiroku.com/hs-fs/hubfs/ScreenRecording2025-09-09at3.46.57pm-ezgif.com-video-to-gif-converter.gif?width=670&height=421&name=ScreenRecording2025-09-09at3.46.57pm-ezgif.com-video-to-gif-converter.gif) **The AI Editor will then process your request and output an initial template**. It will also respond in the chat thread summarising what it's done based on your instruction.  You can then **edit your template directly, or give further instructions to the AI Editor** on what changes you'd like.  For example, you could ask it to: - "Add more detail about the treatment” - "Ensure treatment options are outputted as a bulleted list" - "Add a signature at the end with the following information ... " - "Add guidance to ensure this letter is written in patient friendly language" - "Add guidance to ensure this letter comprehensively explains all treatment options" Our AI will then perform the task to the best of its ability and give explanation on what exactly it's done where applicable. --- ### What are the ( ) \[\] \* \* for? You'll notice there are a variety of symbols enclosing the text of the template. These give the AI instructions on how to populate your letter. You'll find these outlined along the right-side information panel. | #### Placeholders Enclose text in \[ \] to show where the AI will insert information drawn from your notes. For instance, when discussing patient education, use a placeholder for it. **E.g. \[Summarise the chief complaint\] or \[List the patient's ortho problems\]** | | --- | | #### Word for word language, Enclose phrases in \* \* to ensure they are repeated exactly each time. This is useful for signatures and introductions. Use this technique sparingly—avoid quoting everything. **E.g. \*Best wishes,\* or \*I hope this letter finds you well\*** | | #### Providing Guidance Use brackets to clarify how the AI should apply Placeholders and Word-for-Words. **E.g. (this should be presented as a bulleted list) or (only include this if the patient is diabetic)** |  These different types of instructions can be used in combination. - [Getting started](https://help.trykiroku.com/getting-started#main-content) - [FAQs](https://help.trykiroku.com/getting-started#faqs) - [Kiroku Templates](https://help.trykiroku.com/getting-started#kiroku-templates) - [Note templates & appointments](https://help.trykiroku.com/note-templates-appointments#main-content) - [Creating Notes](https://help.trykiroku.com/note-templates-appointments#creating-notes) - [Editing Note Templates](https://help.trykiroku.com/note-templates-appointments#editing-note-templates) - [Note FAQs](https://help.trykiroku.com/note-templates-appointments#note-faqs) - [AI Notes Features](https://help.trykiroku.com/note-templates-appointments#ai-notes-features) - [Docs](https://help.trykiroku.com/docs#main-content) - [Using Docs](https://help.trykiroku.com/docs#using-docs) - [Creating and Editing Doc Templates](https://help.trykiroku.com/docs#creating-and-editing-doc-templates) - [Docs FAQs](https://help.trykiroku.com/docs#docs-faqs) - [Account](https://help.trykiroku.com/account#main-content) - [Account FAQs](https://help.trykiroku.com/account#account-faqs) - [Your Subscription](https://help.trykiroku.com/account#your-subscription) - [FAQs](https://help.trykiroku.com/faqs#main-content) - [Kiroku Features](https://help.trykiroku.com/faqs#kiroku-features) - [Troubleshooting](https://help.trykiroku.com/troubleshooting) [![Screenshot 2025-05-07 at 12.04.48 PM](https://help.trykiroku.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202025-05-07%20at%2012.04.48%20PM.png?width=137&height=50&name=Screenshot%202025-05-07%20at%2012.04.48%20PM.png "Screenshot 2025-05-07 at 12.04.48 PM")](https://trykiroku.com/) **Contact us: Chat** is found at the bottom right of your screen on the website or when logged in You can email us at **support@trykiroku.com** To **WhatsApp** us scan the code below: ![Screenshot 2024-04-23 at 4.00.23 pm](https://help.trykiroku.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202024-04-23%20at%204.00.23%20pm.png?width=172&height=174&name=Screenshot%202024-04-23%20at%204.00.23%20pm.png) [mailto:Support@trykiroku.com](mailto:Support@trykiroku.com) Copyright © 2026, Kiroku Limited Registered Office: 20 Wenlock Road, London, England, N1 7GU Registered Number: 10775183 in England & Wales. ![Instructions for use](https://help.trykiroku.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Compliance/Instructions%20for%20use.png?width=66&height=48&name=Instructions%20for%20use.png)
