# Configuration Templates: Overview

## Overview

Configuration Templates provide a centralized way to manage reusable sendout settings in Mapp Engage. They store predefined configurations that can be applied when creating or copying groups. This helps standardize group behavior, reduce manual setup, and ensure consistent sendout settings across campaigns.
