Saving Templates for Personal Use 

Any team member with a light, standard, unlimited, or creator seat can save audiences, test plans, and screener questions as personal.

By saving as Personal, only the team member who created the template:

• Will see it in both the list of available templates and in the Template Library. 
• Can edit or delete the template using the Template Library.

For instructions on how to save templates, see our Saved Audiences, Saved Test Plans, and Saved Screener Questions articles.

Saving Templates to Workspaces

Any team member with a light, standard, unlimited, or creator seat is able to save audiences, test plans, and screener questions as templates to their current workspace, or to any workspace they belong to with "all permissions." For more information about workspace permissions, see our Workspaces article.

Assigning a template to a workspace means:

• The template is available for use by all members of that workspace.
• UserTesting Admins and the team member who created the template can edit or delete the template through the Template Library. 
• UserTesting Admins, Workspace Owners, and the team member who created the template can assign a template to additional workspaces. 

To assign a template to additional workspaces:

1. The template Creator, UserTesting Admins, or Workspace Owners navigate to the Template Library by clicking Manage templates:

2. Choose either the Audiences, Test Plans, or Screener Questions tab to find the template you want to assign.

3. Choose the audience, test plan, or screener question template you want to use, and click Assign to Workspaces from the drop-down Options menu.

4. Select one or more workspaces to assign the template and give workspace members access to it. 

5. You can also remove template access from currently assigned workspaces by deselecting those workspaces under the Already Assigned tab.

6. Click Update Workspaces to save your changes. 

Note: The Workspace Owner can assign templates only to workspaces of which they are the owner, and the template's creator can assign templates only to workspaces of which they are a member and for which they have "all permissions."

For instructions on how to save templates, see Saved Audiences, Saved Test Plans, and Saved Screener Questions.

Making templates available to all account members

Any team member with a Light, Standard, Unlimited, or Creator seat is able to save audiences, test plans, and screener questions to make these assets available to all Creators-users, across all workspaces.

To do this, for say when you're building a new test plan, click Save as template...

then select the Account option from the dialog box that appears.

Once a template is saved as "Account," both the team member who created the template, as well as UserTesting Admins, can edit and delete it.
