When using the Relatics template feature, a new workspace can be created based on a template. This subscribed workspace begins with the workspace structure published with the template.

The power user of the template workspace can create new versions of the template containing updates to the workspace structure. After a new version of the template is published, the power user of the subscribed workspace will automatically be informed that a new update of the template is available. They can carry out the update at a moment when it is convenient for the project.

Recognize that a workspace is subscribed to a template

When a workspace is subscribed to a template, the icon of the type graph view changes. The new icon will combine the type graph view icon () with a template icon (). In addition, in the tooltip of the type graph view, the name of the current template is shown.
