How to Modify Projects from a Template

Updating an entire project type super easy with mass updates from a template. Here's steps on how!

One of the best features in Jetpack Workflow is the ability to make mass changes quickly. So remember, any changes you make to a template will also impact other projects that are created from the template you're updating, as long as they are in the "Not Started" status. Changes will never roll out to projects that are in the "In Progress" or "Completed" status.

For example, let's say you have a template called "Biweekly Bookkeeping" and you've created projects series for 10 different clients based on this. If you update one field in the template, that same update will happen to all projects that are in the "Not Started" status.

Not sure which clients could be effected by any changes you enact by editing a template? To the right of the screen, while in a template, you'll see each associated client.

When should these changes go live?

Before a change is applied to client work, this box will pop up to confirm your changes. After you select to update the template, your changes will be made.

To update all projects by editing a template, simply follow these steps:

  1. Go to the Templates page and click on the template you want to edit (e.g. "Biweekly Bookkeeping")

  2. Make the edits you want.

    1. To edit the name and/or description, click Edit Template at the top of the screen.

    2. To rearrange the tasks, hold down on the two lines on the left side of a task and drag it to it's new place

    3. To edit a specific task (e.g. add a checklist, new assignee, due date, etc), click the task, then the pencil icon at the top of the task window, make the edits, then click Update Task

    4. To delete a task, click the task then click the trash can icon at the top of the task window

    5. To add a new task, click Add Task at the bottom of the screen
