# Use project templates

_Skileo Projects › Projects and tasks · Who can do this: Business owner, Member_

A template is a model project: a new project made from it starts with its task lists, open tasks, members and rates. Save any project as a template.

## What a template brings

When you create a project from a template, the project gets a copy of the template's:

- task lists,
- open tasks, with their subtasks,
- task labels,
- members,
- hourly rates.

The template itself doesn't change. Your workspace starts with one template, whose task lists follow a simple flow from planned to done.

## Start a project from a template

When you create a project, choose the template in “Template”. See [Create a project](https://www.skileo.com/help/en/create-a-project).

You can also start from the template itself: in “Projects”, set “Status” to “Templates”, click the actions button (**⋮**) on the template's line, then “New project from this template”.

## Save a project as a template

1. In “Projects”, click the actions button (**⋮**) on the project's line.
2. Click “Save as template”.
3. Give the template a name and confirm.

The template keeps the task lists, the open tasks with their subtasks, the members and the rates. Comments, completed tasks and time stay with the project.

## Make a template from scratch

1. Open “Project settings”, then “Templates”.
2. Click “New template”.
3. Fill in the template like a project and click “Create template”.

Then open the template and add its task lists and tasks, as in any project.

## Change or delete a template

A template is edited like a project. Open it from “Templates” to change its tasks. To change its name, members or rates, click the actions button (**⋮**) on its line, then “Edit template”. “Move to trash” deletes it.


## Common questions

### Can I log time on a template?

No. A template takes tasks, not time.

### Does changing a template change the projects made from it?

No. Each project got its own copy when it was created.

### Where do I see all my templates?

In “Projects”, with “Status” set to “Templates”, or in “Project settings”, “Templates”.
