# Build a project template

Project templates let you save a standard set of tasks, milestones, and settings so you can spin up new projects faster. If you run the same type of project more than once, a template saves you from rebuilding the same structure every time.

{% hint style="info" %}
**When to use:** You are setting up a project template for the first time, or adding a new template for a different project type.
{% endhint %}

1. Click the **⚙️ icon** in the top-left corner to open Wonderly settings.
2. Click the **arrow icon** to expand the secondary sidebar.
3. Click **Projects** in the secondary sidebar.
4. Click the **Workspaces** tab and select the workspace you want the template to belong to.
5. Click the **Project & Milestone Templates** tab.
6. Click **+** under **Project Templates**.
7. Type a name for your template at the top where it says **Untitled**.
8. Click **+ Add task** to add tasks to the template.
9. Click **+ Add milestone** to add milestones. Type your milestone name and press **Ctrl / Cmd + Enter** or click **Add Milestone** to save it. To add tasks within a milestone, click **+ Add task** inside that milestone.
10. Click the **Description** tab and type or paste your project description.
11. Click **Files** to attach any default Wonderly Docs or files.
12. Set the default **Priority**, **Assignee**, and **Deadline** in the main sidebar.
13. Click **Create.**

**Expected outcome:** Your template is saved and available to select the next time you or anyone with access to this workspace creates a project in this workspace.

### Field reference

* **Priority:** The default urgency level for projects created from this template. Options are ASAP, High, Medium, or Low.
* **Assignee:** The default team member assigned to projects created from this template.
* **Deadline:** The default due date relative to the project's start date, set when the project is deployed.

**FAQ:**

**Can I share a template with my team or is it just for me?** Templates are workspace-specific. Every team member with access to the workspace will automatically have access to the templates within it.

**Can I edit a template after I've already used it on existing projects?** Yes. You can edit any template from the workspace settings. Navigate to **⚙️ → Projects → Workspaces**, select your workspace, open the **Project & Milestone Templates** tab, and then click on the pen icon to edit.

**Will changes to a template update projects already created from it?** No. Any changes made to a template after a project has been deployed will only apply to new projects created from that template going forward.
