      Story:
      As a user, I would like to see a list of 'promoted' space templates along with the 'blank page' template, since sometimes I do need to create a new page and hiding the 'blank page' option is misleading.

      Notes:
      The ability to hide the 'blank page' template is very useful when trying to push users to use other templates, but for some of our spaces creating pages from scratch occurs side-by-side with templates. Having the 'blank page' template live beneath the fold for these spaces is, at the very least, an annoyance.

      Workaround:
      Create a template in the space which nothing in it with a suitable name, e.g. "Blank Template", and promote that one. It should show up with the other promoted templates, and users can now create a blank page.
      ( On large sites with many spaces it will be cumbersome. But for single spaces and smaller sites it should do the trick until this improvement is implemented. )

            Searching quite a time for the possibility to promote global templates like blueprints i landed on this page. Dear developers, please consider this to be done as soon as you can.

            @Jaydeep Sheth,
            Unfortunately there is no way to promote a global template currently (custom or built in). The ability to do so is something I'm hoping comes from this ticket (given the specific ticket about it was closed as a duplicate of this one).

            I am unable to see the promote template option for my space to promote my global templates? Can someone please help assist?

            bump — seems like something that would be an easy win and very useful

            Promoting global templates would be really usefull, please consider this functionality as the workaround (copy and promote the specific template in every space) is not scalable or manageable

            A Must-Have in my eyes to promote any global templates (custom ones as well as default templates) . Otherways the work with space templates will get too intense on a large amount of spaces!

            Develop a way to promote global templates in all the spaces at once to display at the beginning of the templates list by default.

            Bump, upvote, thumps up... Some of our most valuable site templates are the ones we have created from scratch (like performance reviews and doc requests), and it's not feasible to clone them to individual spaces.

            Maintaining and creating "global" templates using the work around is becoming an increasingly large drain on time.  Having to copy a new global template into every space that needs and then editing templates that are supposed to be identical various spaces is a drag : (
