  2. If Replacement Behavior is hidden, tap Show Replacement Behavior (Show Replacement Behavior), the button inside the Keyword field.
  3. Choose an option.
  4. Tap Save (Save).

The Templates will appear in Suggestions when you finish typing the Keyword.

Typing Hero uses the same Replacement Behavior when it detects a Text Snippet's Keyword after a Replacement.
