LabPlot provides different tools to quickly apply settings on multiple objects:

Templates - save and re-use definitions of single objects like curve, axis, etc.
Plot Templates - save and re-use the complete definition of the plot including its all children
Themes - apply colors from a predefined set of color themes to a worksheet or a plot and to all their children

Templates

Templates allow to save the properties of objects on the worksheet like curves, axis, etc. and to quickly apply them on other objects. A common use-case for the usage of templates is for example the situation where the appearance of a curve with a certain set of properties for the symbol type and size, line width, colors, etc. needs to be applied on other curves in the same or in other projects in a quick way. For this, the current settings are saved in a template and loaded for other objects of interest.

The management of templates is done via the template bar at the bottom of the properties explorer.
