# Visual Studio Item Templates

{% hint style="info" %}
More templates will be added soon
{% endhint %}

When creating new components and pages, it might be great to know exactly where and how to start. Visual Studio Item Templates are exactly meant to help with that!

List of all Item Templates:

* PlutoFramework page - Create a new page with top navigation bar, correct background...
* PlutoFramework popup - Create a bottom popup window that tracks the state changes, had animations...

More Item Templates may be created as needed.

## Install Item Templates (Windows)

All of the PlutoFramework's item templates are located in `VisualStudioTemplates` folder.

Now, locate a `Documents\Visual Studio 2022\Templates\ItemTemplates\C#` folder on your computer and copy the `.zip` files.

Now restart the Visual Studio (or the entire computer) to see the newly added Item Templates.

When creating a new item, you should see the new templates like PlutoFramework page...
