Customize any template

After you’ve selected a template and opened it in your editor, you can customize it like any other Tally form. Any changes you make to the form will only apply to your unique form and won’t affect the template in the library.
You will find any templates you are currently working on in your workspace, along with all other forms you have previously created.

Create your own template

You can easily save your frequently used forms as templates and share them with your team and/or the Tally community.
First, publish your Tally form and go to the Share tab. Scroll down to the section Create a template and click Create.
