At long last, you can allow anyone to copy your app as a template: ![App%20as%20templte](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/1X/ee93258b1d80d37cccda93d7eaf72cc79f4c7bc3.gif) We expect there will be some glitches—for example, sheets with protected ranges may not work—so please give this feature a try and let us know how it goes! ---

Welcome, @filipa — and thanks for the kind words. This feature is available for all apps, private or public. Or have I misunderstood you? ---

I tried the template feature with my team in order to pass an app on to the person it was built for and it lost some media and formulas. Is there a particular way to do this or is it as straight forward as turning on the template feature and sharing ---

Can you create a minimal sheet that shows this issue so we can try to fix it? ---

It’s ok! There was a hidden sheet that seemed to block the process. Once that sheet was not hidden we could copy the app ---

Hey @david, I have an app I am trying to duplicate but the option does not show in the new Builder, under Sharing. Are there new requirements to meet before we can duplicate an app? My app is Public with email Let me know Cheers Allan ![Capture d’écran 2021-04-26 à 16.41.22](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/b/d/bd17011009ae79da8549ec0f909f4ee318be34ae.png) ---

Did you build your app from an existing template? You can’t share apps built from templates. Are you trying to duplicate it for yourself, or to share with others? ---

Oh… yah I think it might be from a template oh dear… that is not good 🤣 I wanted to duplicate for myself, because the Gdoc it is based on belongs to a GSuite account that will be decommissioned 😅 So if there is a way to change the Gdoc underlying an app let me know (though I doubt it) Else I guess I’ll need to redo the entire app, from scratch lol 😭 ---

I don’t remember if that restriction applies to self duplicating, but have you tried to duplicate through the glide dashboard instead of trying to make it copyable? [https://docs.glideapps.com/all/etc/account/duplicating-an-app](https://docs.glideapps.com/all/etc/account/duplicating-an-app) ---

Hey, My application that I duplicated on a professional account at my company is finished. I continued to develop my app on the professional account but now apparently I can no longer duplicate to another production professional account. I hope I don’t have to recreate the entire app from scratch an app that I’ve been developing for two months. What do you recommend ? Sheers, Jean, ---

I saw this option on my first personal Gmail account. Now I can’t see it anymore because 3 weeks ago I copied and continued to develop the app on another Gmail account in my company. [Next page](https://community.glideapps.com/t/allow-anyone-to-copy-your-app-as-a-template/62.md?page=2)
