Edit a template

Options for editing templates

You can change your templates in many ways after you create them.

Who can edit templates?

Members with the “Light” role cannot edit templates. Only “Standard” members (if an Admin gives them permission for a specific template) or “Administrator” members can edit templates.

To start making changes, first open the template in Edit view:

1. Go to the Templates library.
2. Find the template you want to change.
3. Click the Edit icon (the pencil) on the template card.

This opens the Edit view, where you can modify steps, descriptions, settings, and more.

The following articles in this section explain the different things you can edit.

• Add a description to a template
• Add guidance text to a step
• Change a template's status
• Edit steps
• Rename a template
