Session 9 of the Layer Maker Course
This session covers Templates, the way to package up a complete Layer setup (categories, fields, views, automations, document layouts) and apply it to a new project in a few clicks.
By the end of the hour, you'll know how to capture an existing project as a template, apply that template to a new project, and manage versions across your firm so that everyone starts from the same baseline.
