      💬 Share your feedback on templates!

      We’re working to improve templates in Confluence and reimagining how they are created and shared across a site. We’d love to talk to content creators and site/space admins to hear how you’d like templates to work. In particular, we’re focusing on:
       

      • Permissions – Who should be able to create, edit, and use templates?
      • Organisation & sharing – How templates should be shared across users, teams, spaces, or the entire site.
      • Admin controls – What controls are important for admins to manage, and what could be more self‑serve or democratised.
      • AI‑powered templates – How AI could help you move faster by generating templates and automatically populating content when you insert them.{}
      • General feedback – What you like about templates today, what’s challenging, and what you’d most like to see improved.

      A template is accessible only within a given space unless it's a global template. The only way a template can be accessible from multiple spaces is for it to be a global template. Currently only confluence-administrators can access/edit global templates.

      We need the ability for a template to be accessible from multiple spaces but the user does not have to be in the confluence administrators group to add/edit a given template.

      Currently we have one of two options:
      1. Add the user to the administrators group
      2. Force the user to put the template in a given space and copy the template to
      any other space.
