Save, edit and share templates

Turn an activity or interaction into a template, then edit, tag, export or remove it.

Save something as a template when you will want to start from it again, or when colleagues could use it too.

Save one from your own work

Open the ⋯ menu of an activity (on My activities or in the activity itself) or of an interaction (in its editor).
Choose Save as a template.
Give it a Template name.
Under Which library, choose where it goes: Mine, your workspace, or your organisation. A library you cannot add to says why.
Add Tags if they help people find it, such as "Revision" or "Week 1".
Press Save as a template.

The template is a copy. Changes you make to the original later do not change it.

Make one from scratch

On Configuration › Templates, open a library and press New template. Choose A whole activity or One interaction (and its Type), then press Open in the editor. It goes into the library you had open.

Edit a template

On the template's card, open the ⋯ menu:

Edit template opens it in the normal editor. A band says it is a template and which library it is in. There is no Publish or Share here: a template never reaches students.
Edit name and tags changes how it is listed.

Share it as a file

Export as a file downloads a .taktyl file.
Import on the Templates page brings one in. Taktyl shows what will come in before anything is made, and asks what to do when a template has the same name as one of yours.

Remove a template

Choose Remove from templates on the ⋯ menu. It goes to the Bin, where you can restore it. Everything already made from it stays as it is, because each one is its own copy.

Who can change what

You can change your own templates in Mine. Anyone working in a workspace can change its templates. Only organisation admins can change the organisation's. Taktyl's own templates cannot be changed, but anyone can start from them.
