# Report Templates

This feature enables users to upload custom templates and customize the formatting of specific reports using [**Carbone**](https://carbone.io/documentation/design/overview/getting-started.html#building-a-template). Carbone supports **.odt (Open Document Format)**, which can be created or edited using word processing applications.

To assist with template customization, you can refer to the **View Sample Data** section in each report, which contains the available Carbone variables.
