# Create a rubric from a template

If you have [created a rubric](/19/docs/create-a-rubric) for another assignment and [shared it as a template](/19/docs/share-a-rubric), you can create new rubrics using the template:

1. Go to the assignment activity to which you would like to add a rubric.
2. In the **Administration** block select **Advanced grading**.
3. Next, select **Rubric** in the **Change active grading method to** dropdown.
4. Select **Create new grading form from a template**.
5. You will be able to browse or search for the rubric you wish to use.
6. Once you have found the marking guide click **Use this template** underneath it.
7. You will then need to click **Continue** to confirm you wish to use that template.

You can now use the template or edit it to better suit your purposes.
