Workspace Templates

Workspace templates are a premium feature that make it easy to automate workspace creation. They’re ideal for repeating projects & workflows; for example, a client project that involves similar docs & tasks to your other client projects.

When deployed across your team, workspace templates provide a helpful overview of all your shared processes in one place.


How workspace templates work

Workspace templates provide a prebuilt starting point for a project or workflow. You can create workspace templates for personal use, or share them with your team so they can quickly and easily create workspaces from your team’s templates.

Your templates can be managed in the template manager.

Your team’s templates can be managed from team template settings in the admin dashboard.

  2. Click the + button at the top of the sidebar.

  3. For your first template, click New workspace template.

  4. For subsequent templates, click Manage templates.

    • Click the + in the top-right of the template manager.
  5. Choose between New template from workspace or New template from scratch.
