Save the plan of an existing project as a template to reuse the tasks and sub-projects in other projects in Project Workspace.

## Before you begin

Role required: it_project_manager

## About this task

A project template stores the plan of a project, such as its project tasks and sub-projects. After you save a template, you can apply it to other projects or select it when you create a project from a template.

## Procedure

1. Open a project from the home page of Project Workspace.  
   For information, see [Access the Project Workspace](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/NizzG8MYmtX6E2dj4LyjPw "Learn how to navigate to the new Project Workspace and open a project in the planning page.").
2. Select Details.
3. **Optional:** Add the project tasks and sub-projects to include in the template.  
   You can add them from the Project Tasks and Sub Projects tabs on the Details page.
4. From the More actions (![more action icons.]()) menu, select Save as New Template.
5. Enter a name in the Template name field.
6. **Optional:** Enter a description of the template in the Description field.
7. Select OK.

## Result

The template is saved and is available to select when you apply a template to a project or create a project from a template.
