You must sign in with Google (not just _using_ a Google/Gmail email address—you must actually use the Sign in with Google button, and not sign in via email) to copy templates.

For now, when you copy a template, it tries to put a Google Sheet in your Google account. If you did not sign into Glide via the Google sign-in button, this fails. We will handle this case better soon.
