# How do I apply an SOW template?

**Overview**

You can apply a Scope of Work (SOW) template in XTEN-AV to replace an existing SOW with a new standardized format. This helps ensure consistency when switching to a new template structure.

* Navigate to the project where you want to apply the Scope of Work (SOW). Hover your cursor over the SOW section and click the **Eye** icon to open it.
