How to Create a Workspace Template?
Creating a new workspace template can be as simple or complex as you need them to be. In the video below, learn how to create and publish a workspace template for your end users.
Workspaces can be either configured as STATIC templates, or LIVE templates:
- Live templates are connected to an existing M365 workspace, giving you the ability deeply customize your workspaces. This enables you to copy workspace settings such as Teams channels, channel tabs, SharePoint document libraries, lists, and more.
- Static templates are simply workspace templates that are NOT connected to an existing M365 workspace. All configurations and customizations are handled within the template.
