How-to: Create a Trip Template & Use It To Make a New Trip
A Trip Template allows you to save time, by leveraging the work that you put in, creating other Trips. Simply re-use the Template every time you need to duplicate a past Itinerary and/or Automated Tasks.
When to use Trip Templates
- You have similar TRIPS that repeat quarterly, annually, etc.
- You require all of the same TASKS on your TRIPS
- You want to keep your descriptions, images, messaging, etc. across all of your TRIPS
When to use the Library
- You want to have consistent elements, but pick and choose which TASKS and HIGHLIGHT & ITINERARY ITEMS you include from the Library
- You can use both Templates and Library at the same time!
- Use the Sync feature when you want changes to Library items to "sync" to the TRIPS that use them

- Your chosen dates for a TRIP created from a Template will automatically synchronize for both your ITINERARY and AUTOMATED TASKS
- There is no limit to how many TEMPLATES you can create & they are safely stored in your TRIP DASHBOARD
