A deployment template is a reusable configuration that saves your server settings, build commands, and deployment preferences. When you create a new project, you can apply a template instead of configuring everything from scratch. ### Can I share templates across my team? Yes. Templates are available to all members of your DeployHQ account. Once a template is created, any team member can use it when setting up new projects, ensuring consistent configuration across your organisation. ### Can I update a template after creating it? Yes. Templates can be edited at any time. However, changes to a template only affect new projects that use it — existing projects that were created from the template are not modified. ## Ready to streamline your workflow? Create templates once and apply them to every project. Save time and stay consistent.
