# Creating Worker Templates

A Worker template is simply a Worker that contains the extension ***\*template.lvclass*** at the end of its filename.

You can create your own Worker templates by creating a new Worker with the Create/Add Worker tool, and then customizing the Worker as you like. You can then create new Workers based on this Worker template.

If you choose to create a new Worker from a Worker template, the Create/Add Worker tool will do the following:

1. Create a new Worker (which is a copy of your Worker template).
2. Take the Worker template’s icon header colors for your new Worker’s icon header.
3. Replace all the template VIs control and indicator labels with the name of the new Worker.
