# Using Status Page Templates

> Use imported StatusPage.io templates in Rootly to standardize and auto-populate status page event updates with severity, components, and message content.

## Overview

Event status updates are often standardized via templates. These are preset values that will auto-populate your event update. This guide will aim to help you use them. Using StatusPage templates requires you to first import them into Rootly. If you have not done that yet please follow this guide [here](/integrations/status-page-io/importing-templates "here").

## Steps

1. Within any incident in Rootly click the Status Page Timeline Tab then the Add to Timeline button
