Inkscape has some pre-defined templates that you can use to start your development. To access these templates, go to the main menu select File and then New. A pop-up menu appears showing a number of default page (or canvas) sizes to choose from.
Most templates are pre-loaded into the Inkscape release and installation. However, if you find additional Inkscape templates you want to use, they can be easily installed. Follow these steps:

Open the SVG file itself in Inkscape to view the template to make sure it fits your needs.
From the main menu, select File and then Save As.
Choose a save location in your computer operating system's Inkscape template directory.
For Windows, that directory is within the C:\Program Files\Inkscape\share\templates folder. For Mac OS the directory is /Applications/Inkscape/Contents/Resources...
