# **Importing Templates**

The Import Template feature in the uAuditor Public Template Library allows organizations to copy ready-made inspection templates into their workspace and customize them for operational use.

Importing templates helps teams deploy inspections faster without building checklists from scratch.

## **What Happens When You Import a Template**

When a template is imported:

- it is copied into your organization’s template list
- it becomes fully editable
- it can be assigned to inspections and schedules

This allows complete flexibility after import.
