Create a board from a template or start blank

What you may be seeing

• A new user is unsure whether to choose a template or blank board, or is surprised by seeded sample content.
• A board needs portrait rather than landscape orientation.

What usually causes it

• Built-in templates intentionally seed a design and sample menu data so price bindings work immediately.
• Blank board creation intentionally seeds one visible editable starter scene instead of a completely black canvas.
• Template aspect ratio comes from the template; blank boards let the user choose 16:9 or 9:16 at creation.

Do this

1. Open Boards and choose a built-in template when you want a designed starting point, or use Create a new board → Blank board to start with the starter scene.
2. For a blank board, choose 16:9 for normal landscape TVs or 9:16 for portrait displays before creating it.
3. Rename/delete the seeded sample data and starter elements as needed; they are ordinary editable content, not permanent system content.
4. Publish only when the board is ready to become a player release.

You know it is fixed when

• The new board opens in the editor at the intended aspect ratio and its starter/template content is editable.
