Safe Task Templates

Templates allow other Safe Task users in the same organisation to use the template as a starting point when creating their own diagram. In this guide, we’ll show you how to create a new template, edit, and delete a template from the Safe Task Settings Menu. We’ll also walk you through how to create a template from a diagram and import a Safe Task template from the projects menu.
