To save time, there is an option in Flyerlink® to for Duplicating Templates.

Workgroup > Templates > View/Amend > Template Summary


To duplicate a template, click Create Duplicate Template, this carries over all the associated template information including the Files, Tags, Permissions and Vouchers. This functionality can be used for 2 purposes:

  • If a client wants to make changes to an existing, ‘live’ Template that has already been used to create an order. In this instance, make the current template “defunct”, create a duplicate, Upload, Build and Try the replacement artwork, before making the new Template ‘live’.
  • If you are setting up a number of templates for the same client, and much of the template information is the same, in particular Permissions, use the Create Duplicate Template functionality to save time. Then change the appropriate information within the Template Summary, and upload new files.

If you need to change the Template Size, upload your new file, DO NOT Build, change the Template Size, then Build.

After pressing Create Duplicate Template, you will be presented with 3 options:

Just copy settings, I'll upload a new file
This will duplicate all the size, colour options, tags and customer permissions. You'll need to upload a new file though.

Copy files, settings and build a duplicate template
This will duplicate all the size, colour options, tags and customer permissions. It will also make a duplicate of your InDesign® file and build a template ready for you to test.

SmartSize my file to Imperial and build template
This will duplicate all the size, colour options, tags and customer permissions. It will also make a duplicate of your InDesign® file and adjust the size to use imperial measurements. A template will then be built ready for you to test.
