A workspace template saves time by allowing you to create a workspace that can be replicated instantly. It can contain everything that a normal workspaces does, like folders, files, tasks and posts. You can even populate it’s members.
You can create as many workspace templates as you like and only you, as the creator, will be edit them. Templates are however shared, so that other users can create new workspaces using your templates.

There are two ways to create a workspace template, from scratch, or by copying an existing workspace.

Select 'Create Template'.
Now give your template a name and click the ‘Create Template’ button.

Your template will be created and will now appear in your workspace list, in the side navigation bar.
Its name will be prefixed with ‘TEMPLATE’. It is now ready for you to use.
How to create a workspace from a template
To create a new workspace from a template click on the ‘+’ icon, to the right of the title ‘WORKSPACES’ on your side navigation bar.
Give your workspace a name and click the 'More Options' link.
Now select your template from the 'Create a new workspace based on template' drop down and click 'Create'.
Templates with members
If the template includes members, they will be notified that they have been added to the new workspace when it is created. If you prefer members were not notified, then deselect the checkbox by this option which appears after you have selected the template from the dropdown.
Members of the template will only be added to the new workspace if they have already accepted their invite and logged into the account.
