Hi guys,

project templates are publicly available to the community or private to the account that created them ?

They are private unless/until you choose to share them by providing the link to somebody.

However, they are kind of useless at the moment, because of a [long standing bug](https://community.glideapps.com/t/copying-glide-app-template-doesnt-work-for-a-colleague/56434) that prevents them from being copied by anyone other than the template owner.

If I choose to create a template that will be used only privately by the same user, should I use the template or just duplicate the app ?

Either is okay.
