If you follow the same steps for every book, save them as a template. You'll see your templates under Custom when you create a new checklist.
Save an existing checklist as a template
- Open the checklist in Launch Checklist.
- Click Save as Template.
- Enter a name for the template and click Next.
- Choose what happens to items you've already ticked:
- Keep completed items checked keeps them ticked in new checklists made from this template.
- Start all items unchecked starts every item fresh.
Your sections, their order, and all items are saved in the template.
Build a template from scratch
- Click Templates at the top of the page.
- Click New Template.
- Enter a Template Name.
- Add sections:
- Use Add built-in section… to add a standard section, such as Editing or Launch.
- Click + New Section to add a section with your own name.
- Under each section, click + Add item to add tasks.
- Drag sections by their handle to reorder them.
- Click Create Template.
To change a template later, open Templates and click the pencil icon (Edit template). To delete one, click the trash icon (Delete template). Changing or deleting a template doesn't affect checklists you've already made from it.
Use your template
- Click + New Checklist.
- Under Checklist Type, choose your template under Custom.
- Fill in the rest and click Create.
Save a single section for reuse
If one section is worth reusing on its own, such as your own "Audiobook" section:
- Open a checklist that has the section.
- Hover over the section's name and click the bookmark icon (Save section as reusable template).
The section now appears under Add a section on the right of every checklist. Click it to add a copy of its items. To remove a saved section, click the trash icon (Remove saved template) next to it. The ready-made sections can't be removed.
