Hi Paul,
I created a project template where each task has several collaborators and some of the tasks are assigned to clients outside of our organization.

I had several updates to make to the template, so I used the template to create a private project (since it's easier to update on the project level rather than in the template window). I then saved that as a new template and deleted the project.

The project I created with the template was private and I was the only person attached to the project. I didn't share it with anyone. However, it seems that my client was a able to see all tasks assigned to them in that private project.

Is it safe to assume that even if a project is private, people who are assigned tasks in that project can see them even if I have not shared the project with them?

Is it possible create a template to use on multiple teams?

I'm afraid not as templates currently can only live in one team at a time. But you could use it to create a project and then save the template to the new team.

Hey Paul - wondering if there is a work around you know of to copy a task template over to another project?

Ideally as a section of tasks template rather than an individual if that makes sense

I'm afraid task templates cannot be copied between projects. However, if you're copying a section of tasks, one option is to export the tasks from the original project and use the CSV import option to add them to any new projects.

Did you know that you introduce the video topic twice at the beginning? May want to trim that out ;)

Hi Paul. I loved the template concept. Most of my tasks I designed to repeat every month. Example: Send email brief to agency. Is it better to create it as a template or a recurring task? Thanks.

Thanks! If they repeat every month, they would be better as recurring tasks rather than a template.

Hey Paul, mulligan at the beginning of this lesson in the first 5-10 seconds. No big deal, not distracting, but thought you might want to know just in case.
