Whether it's onboarding docs for your newest employee or meeting notes for today's standup, you might find yourself creating the same posts over and over. Instead of spending time making copies of each post, you can use templates to replicate your posts with just one click!
Creating templates
To create a template:
Open an existing post (can be a draft or published post)
Click the … menu in the top right-hand corner
Click Templatize.
By default, newly created templates are under Personal and only accessible to the person that created the template.
