# Document templates When creating new documents in courses (in the Documents tool), you will see a left column showing a series of document templates. Those templates can be extended inside the course itself. In this case, they remain specific to the course. But an administrator can also create (or update) global templates. Go to Administration -> Platform settings -> Templates for that. However, this feature is relatively limited in Chamilo 1.9-1.11. Even if you can place new templates there, they cannot easily, for example, include new media (there is no way to upload the corresponding files) and you will need to use specific variables to avoid Chamilo to transform erroneously the links to the CSS and JS files you might want to include. So there is an alternative way, but it takes a bit of effort. That is what we explain in the following section. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.chamilo.org/1.11.x/developer-guide/document_templates.md?ask= ``` The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
