Overview
At times, you may want to create a template that is similar to an existing template, with only a few differences. Instead of creating a new template and duplicating the information manually, you can quickly clone an existing one and make only the changes you need.
How to Clone a Template

- Under the Actions column on the right side of the Project Templates page, click the Clone Note: Only users with Project Lead (or higher) Account Permissions can clone budgeted templates.

To learn more about the Edit Template page, see the Create a New Template article.Note: Each project template has a 200,000 Character Limit. This amount is the cumulative total of all fields in the template. Your current character count will update when you click Save.
- To share the template with other members, select either Shared (View Only) or Shared (Can Edit) in the Sharing drop-down.
- When you've completed the necessary edits, click Save and Close to return to the Project Templates page.
Note: If the template contains circular dependencies, you will be unable to clone it. For more information, see Task Dependencies in Task Tracker.
