Replace template placeholders

Most Numbers templates include placeholder tables, text, and images that you can use as a starting point for your own spreadsheets. You can use or customize the templates’ design features—fonts, colors, cell data formats, size and location of images and tables, and so on—and replace the data with your own.

Replace a placeholder image

  1. Tap Add media button in the lower-right corner of a placeholder image, then browse for a image.

    If you already replaced the placeholder image, but you want to change it, tap the image to select it, tap Format button, tap Image, then tap Replace and browse for a replacement image.

  2. Tap the image you want.

    If you don’t see the image you want, upload it to your device and try again.

To change the part of the image that’s visible, resize the mask for the image.

To remove a placeholder entirely, select it, then tap Delete.
