Templates library #1125
Description
Feature Request
Is your feature request related to a problem or unsupported use case? Please describe.
Users have templates for meeting minutes, product requirement documents, briefs etc.
Describe the solution you'd like
Provide a template library for users and allow them to reuse templates by duplicating them.
Templates can be personal (my templates), shared (my teams / org templates) or public (all users).
First I'd go for the public template library. Grist is using this to educate users on how their tools works.
This has multiple benifits:
- Showcase users that make great templates
- Save time by not having to build your own templates
- Help onboard users by showing example of well made Docs
Personal and shared templates can be achieved by just creating a template Doc with subdoc that you can duplicate from
Such feature would involve adding to Docs:
- Flag a doc as template in the DB
- Template library page (public available to all users)
- Search for templates
- Tags or categories
- Official templates submited by admins
- Community templates (submited by users) should:
- Showcase owner of template
This feature could be build as POC using subdocs:
- Process for users to submit a template and for admins to flag doc as template can be achieved through grist form at first
- The admin creates a doc to nest templates inside
- The document can added in added in the side bar
