Wavebox Teams: Template Guide.

Onboard your team with a ready-made template that includes all the web resources they need to get up and running with Wavebox quickly.

You can create a template using any Wavebox Profile—it could be your own—or start a brand new profile that is custom-built for the team.

💡
What are templates? They are a starting point for users. Users can access all features, make changes, and use Wavebox freely. For locked-down templates, see Wavebox Live.

Creating a team template

  • STEP 1: Create a new blank profile.
    • Either: Build the profile from scratch (Option A).
    • Or: Use your own profile as a starting point (Option B).
  • STEP 2: Customize the Profile
  • STEP 3: Create a Template from the Profile with Share Code

STEP 1. Create a New Profile

To avoid affecting your personal setup, start with a new profile.

Option A: New Blank Profile

  • Click the profile avatar, then 'Add'.
  • Name the profile (e.g., Sales Template).
  • Choose 'Use current subscription'.
  • A blank Wavebox launches—skip to Step 2.

Option B: Use your current setup as the base

Create a new blank profile using the steps in Option A.

In your Profile

  • Click the Profile avatar > Share icon.
Profile Avatar > Share > Template Wizard > Share > Copy Share Link
  • Follow the template wizard:
    • If you include passwords, set a Master Password (and save it somewhere!).
    • At the last step, copy the share code. The code is also saved in My Wavebox > Templates.

In the Blank Profile

  • Paste the share code into the address bar and follow the install wizard.
    • Enter the master password if needed.
  • Go to Settings > Spaces Tab
    • Find the space you want as the default (e.g. your Gmail)
    • Click on the kebab menu and select 'Make default space'
      • You will need to type 'DELETE' to confirm.
    • Find the old default space and remove it.

STEP 2. Customize the Profile

Now let's build the profile your team will use.

Add & Organize Web Resources

  • Set up Spaces, Groups, Apps, Tabs.
  • If you used a template, remove any that you don't want.
  • Tip: Use clear and consistent names.

Customize Appearance

  • Go to Settings > General > Appearance > App Theme.
  • Choose theme colors that match your company branding.

Add Useful Extensions

  • Click the puzzle icon 🧩 (top-right).
  • Select Add Extension and install from Chrome Web Store—tips: LastPass, Grammarly, Clockify, etc.

Set Preferred Search Engine

  • Go to Settings > General > Search and update preferences.

Add a Team Dashboard

  • Create a new Group in the webdock.
  • Add the Dashboard app from the Wavebox Store.
  • Right-click the dashboard Group icon in the webdock and upload your company logo.
  • Click ⚙️ in the dashboard (top-right) and set colors or upload a company-branded background image.

Populate & Manage Passwords

  • Sign-in to each app and save passwords to the built-in manager.
  • OR use a secure extension like LastPass.
  • ⚠️ Don’t include your own logins! Leave fields blank where necessary, so users can sign-in and save their own credentials e.g. business Gmail accounts.

STEP 3. Generate the Team Template

Now let's create the template to share with your team.

  • In the new profile, click the profile avatar, then the Share icon.
  • Run the template wizard.
    • Create/set a Master Password if needed.
    • ‼️ Check the option to share with a team ‼️
  • Copy the final share code.
    • 🎯 The code is also saved under My Wavebox > Templates.

🎉 You're Done!

Your team now has a fully configured Wavebox profile — same layout, extensions, and apps. Fast onboarding, consistent workflows.

👍 Tip! Remember, templates are just a starting point and can be changed by your team. If you need locked-down templates that can be changed remotely, see Wavebox Live.
