You can add language templates to notices that have the status of Draft. If the status of the notice that you want to add a language template to is Setup required, see the

You can add or remove language templates or edit the design of templates after you publish a notice.
To publish a notice that has multiple templates
On the Sequences tab, select a draft notice.
Select Publish.
If you add a language template for a published notice, the template status changes to Unpublished Changes. After you publish the notice, LX Starter sends it as scheduled.

If you add multiple language templates, you can publish them all or individually.
