Using Template Libraries

Template Libraries

Use the "Use another library as a template" option to copy an existing library's structure. This is useful when you regularly create libraries with the same folder structure.

Large Templates

Creating a library from a template with many folders and documents may take a long time.

Creating a Template Library

To create a reusable template:

  1. Create a new library
  2. Build your desired folder and subfolder structure
  3. Add any standard documents you want in every new library
  4. Do NOT specify any members (keeps the template hidden from regular users)
  5. Use this library as a template when creating new libraries
