Create a template

Did you create the perfect project plan? Turn it into a template with timelines, assignees, and key info for next time!

Check out our Featured templates.

What you'll need

  • Templates are available on every plan.
  • Guests only have access to templates for Docs, tasks, views, checklists, and Whiteboards.
  • Guests with edit or full permissions can create templates.
  • Private items included in templates can only be used by people with access to that item. For example, if a List template was created from a private List I do not have access to, I can't use the template.
