What is a Template Board?
Templates are a great way to increase your productivity especially when you have repetitive tasks or process. You can set up a board just the way you like it and then use that board as a template for additional boards.
Examples of Template boards:
Template board for course creation: Maybe you are a course creator and you create a template board for your course creation process and workflow and every time you start working on a new course you can use your template board to get started.
Template board for client on boarding: If you regularly offer the same services that require the same on boarding requirements you can create a general template board that you then use every time you have a new client.

The first step is to create your template board for the first time. Create your lists, cards and any checklists that you want to include on your template board.
2. Under settings turn your board into a Template board
