If you have standard files that you need to send out over and over again, you can create a template of that document, and apply on the same documents (when required) to quickly reuse all the workflow configurations. You can add recipients, form fields, initials, in-persons, signature type, signature position, signing sequence, configure reminders, certify document and much more in a document template. The individual and enterprise users can manage (Add, Clone, Edit, and Delete) their personal templates, while the enterprise users can also use the enterprise templates as allowed against their user role by their enterprise admin. The saved templates can then be applied on the similar documents for efficient and robust re-usability of these workflow configurations.
Click "Configuration" from left menu, then click "Templates" under Documents options in Personal Configuration section.
Enterprise templates will be listed under "Enterprise" section.
An enterprise user will only able to view the enterprise templates that are allowed under "Allowed Templates" against their user role in the enterprise settings.
Click "Configuration" from left menu, then click "Templates" under Documents options in Personal Configuration section.
Personal templates will be listed under "Personal" section.
Click "Configuration" from left menu, then click "Templates" under Documents options in Personal Configuration section.
Click "Add template" in Personal section.

Once you have set the required configurations, click the "Save and Close" button.
At times you need to create multiple templates with a little variations. The best way to achieve this is to create a template with all the configurations and then make clones of it. You can then edit each template clone as per requirement.
Click "Configuration" from left menu, then click "Templates" under Documents options in Personal Configuration section.
Select the desired template and click "Clone" in the right panel.
Specify the name, description and enable read only toggle as required.
Click "Clone".
Click "Configuration" from left menu, then click "Templates" under Documents options in Personal Configuration section.
Select the desired template and click "Edit" in the right panel.
Edit the required content. You can edit template name, description, signers, reviewers, placeholders, signer information fields, signing actions, form filling, document permissions, certify document settings, workflow type, post processing, email configurations and signing/ reviewing sequence.
Once done, click "Save and Close".
Click "Configuration" from left menu, then click "Templates" under Documents options in Personal Configuration section.
Select the desired template and click "Edit" in the right panel.
Go to "Documents" screen and specify the new name in "Template name" and click "Continue".
Then, you can make further changes or exit.
Upon exit, click "Save" in the exit dialog.
Click "Configuration" from left menu, then click "Templates" under Documents options in Personal Configuration section.
Select the desired template and click "Delete" in the right panel.
Click "Delete" in the confirmation dialog.
You can create as many template clones as allowed in the template quota of your service plan.
The workflow configurations within a read-only template cannot be modified during document preparation, except updating placeholders.
To experience the exact settings, it is recommended to use the template (being created) on the same documents. The actual positions of configured signature/ initials/ in-person fields may alter, if this template is applied on different type or size of documents.
