Delimiter settings

Choose which characters wrap your placeholders, globally for all templates, or per template when one file uses a different format.

Global delimiter

The global delimiter applies to all newly uploaded templates. The default is {placeholder}. If your templates use a different format, change the global setting before uploading.

  1. 1Go to Templates in the sidebar and click Global defaults in the top-right.
  2. 2On the Settings tab, select the delimiter that matches your template format.

  1. 3Click Save. All templates uploaded from this point will be scanned using the new format.

Per-template override

If one template uses a different format from the rest, set a per-template delimiter instead of changing the global setting. Open the template's configuration, go to Settings, and select the override format:

After saving, the panel shows a Template override badge, a clear indicator this template uses a custom delimiter:

  • Other templates in your library are unaffected.
  • Click Reset to global to remove the override and revert to the global setting.

Rescan

A template is only scanned for placeholders at upload time. If the delimiter setting changes afterwards, click Rescan to re-detect placeholders using the current format.

  1. 1Open the template's configuration panel.
  2. 2Click Rescan (top-right of the Mappings tab).
  3. 3Re-map any newly detected placeholders and save.

Common scenarios

Scenario 1: global changed after upload

You uploaded a template when the global delimiter was {placeholder}, then changed it to <placeholder>. The template's configuration now shows no placeholders:

  • Fix: click Rescan. The <placeholder> tokens are now detected. Any global field mappings are applied automatically (shown with a Global badge):

Scenario 2: one template uses a different format

All your templates use <placeholder>, but one legacy file uses %placeholder%.

  • Fix: open that template's Settings tab, select the %% delimiter, save, then click Rescan. The %test% placeholders are now detected:
